A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
Bricklayers Arms, Thomas H Farmer, 1 Edith Road, New Southgate N11 (Middlesex Public Houses in in a 1937 Directory). R. Markell, 1 Edith Road, Bounds Green, New Southgate N (This is a listing from the Beer Retailer section of the UK North London Post Office Directory in 1896; This is one of the earlier London Suburbs directories that lists Pubs and street addresses as London instead of the local county.) Scant records reveal it was open from 1896 to 1965 and demolished for housing redevelopment in 1968.
Top local historian, Albert Pinching (**doffs cap **), briefly mentions this pub on the estate behind The Springfield Tavern and I've been on a mission to uncover more about it ever since, so your 'umble obsessive 'ere was delighted to have found this photograph in the Bruce Castle Archive recently. The premises are not marked as a public house in the normally meticulous Ordinance Survey Map of 1912 but might appear on the later 1936 edition (anyone got a copy?)
Dated 1964, the sign in the window reads "ALL BEERS served from the WOOD" - i.e. from proper wooden barrels made by a traditional Cooper, not them there new fangled metal casks. The adjacent premises belong to Corwin & Son Ltd, Engineers and Pattern Makers who were probably no strangers to the bar next door.
