Bromley: Former Duke of Wellington public house
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 19 Aug 2008
The array of fine dark green glazed tiles that form the frontage of this building give away its provenance as a public house. This is a former Victorian pub at the junction of St Leonards Road (in the foreground) and Byron Street, that was originally the Wellington Arms, and latterly the Duke of Wellington until converted. The 1869 edition of the Ordnance Survey map shows Byron Street and a building on this corner so it is not unreasonable to assume that the public house was existing then. At that time Byron Street, which is now a short dead end, ran through to the railway.
