According to Kelly's Directory of 1860 253 Regent Street didn't exist, the street numbers end at less than 80, although it might have expanded later on. I can't find any trace of Joseph Mulvey as a publican also.
Best wishes,
Chas

the beer is all gratis
you can smoke in the snug
the barmaid is bra-less
and you may spit on the rug
the door's never locked
and the fire's real coal
the cellar's well stocked
and there's steak in a roll
the old guys are hopeless
at any bar game
the ladies are guileless
in the pub with no name

The one time I drank in
this heaven on earth
was a day I was gaspin'
for all I was worth
All there gave ovation
and were glad that I came
how'd you ask for direction
to the pub with no name?
And the motto of this paradise
was simply, "when in Rome"
I ask you to take my advice
there's no mystery, this pub is called Home.
Nearly.
Love the poem is it copy right or up for general use?
Thank you.
I take it as a general rule that all that one publishes on the internet is for public use. AS LONG AS such use is not for monetary gain.
If ever I quote from the work of others I would say so. The above were written by me, off the cuff, so to speak. Enjoy.
P.S.
This is something I should do, but have not thus far got into the habit. Could you please add either (or both) Oudeis/Tom Austin to the copies you make. Thanks again.
ha,ha, very good
I did wonder what the ladies would think of it all.ha,ha, very good
I am glad you could laugh.
Cheers

Joking aside its really quite sad that so many of my ancestors pubs have closed their doors. They used to be the centre of social life the place to get the news and gossip with the lads ater work or to enjoy the feast when the welfare club money was shared they were the natural place t'old meetings and barneys to wet a babes head or say bye at a wake now not even the locals can name or place on a map soo many , too many of my ancient family pubs mayhap dearOudeis you could knock a few lines up on that theme for me?
Trees with over 60 pubs on the "Tree" and who never entres a pub except for a meal
should add the researcher who is looking for a pub at 253 Regent Street had mis read the schedule number for the Road number hw many folk have been caught out by that I wonder could it have been The Atlantic do you think?

I hear you trees. Any extra detail of your particular interest, would help.
I have thoughts that could be about a thousand odes, but have not yet begun, except this one.
Some talk of Alexander
And some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander
And such great names as these
But of all the worlds great heroes
There's none that can compare
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row
To the Pub that once stood here
[with thanks to 18th century traditional]
I am, as I say, on the case. I would rather meet your desires as much as possible, but each one I can dream up I will share. (whether you like it or not, tee-hee)
