LANT STREET

[101rob]

I'm interested in all histories, stories and pictures relating to the Gladstone Arms, 64 Lant Street (formerly 65).

This is my work in progress timeline largely sourced from census, electoral and other directories. There are lots of gaps I'd love to fill. I'm especially interested to learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked there. I have some bits and pieces already if anyone is interested.

Hi 101rob, welcome to the site and thank you for the information. Any bits and pieces you have of Lant Street or any other parts of the area would be of interest, especially pictures, Kiwi.

I did find these pictures of the Nellé family who ran the Gladstone Arms from 1900 until shortly before WWI. Theodor was from Germany originally and had previously run a bakery in Silvertown (near Canning Town) with his wife , Eliza (from Bethnal Green) before moving into the beer selling business in Lant St. I wondered if they may have been persecuted when the 1st World War started as many German families and businesses were at the time. He had moved to a house in Camberwell by 1914 and died the year after in March 1915. I went to Camberwell Old Cemetery the other day to try and find his grave but it seems to be in the section that's been bulldozed recemtly to make a new burial area.

Anyhow these portraits were posted on Ancestry.com by one their descendants in Canada, where Eliza and other family emigrated after Theodor died.
