This is The Ship & Anchor public house as most definitely closed (bricked up, not boarded up, ground floor windows for example) in June 2016. Elsewhere on the internet is a description of the pub giving the names of all the occupants as of each Census from 1851 to 1911. Unfortunately the pub is not present on any of the old large scale Ordnance Survey maps available on line, up to and including that of 1920. The building first appears as an unnamed PH on the map of 1938, and then appears as the "Hope & Anchor" PH in 1960 and 1961. Only in the 1990 edition does it show as the "Ship & Anchor". The road in front is the A124 Wood Lane.
