South London: The 'Brockley Jack'
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 25 Aug 2012
Large and impressive Victorian public house on the B218. The date stone reads 1898, but it is likely that this is a rebuilding date, for it seems that this pub was at one time the haunt of highwaymen - the sign depicts one such. So it is not unreasonable to suppose that Brockley Jack himself followed this profession.
