Florence Collins (my great grandmother) is the daughter of James & Harriet
Collins of The Giraffe,
Newington. She is the licensee of the
Old Greyhound, Milton Street
in 1901. She is also husband of Thomas Stanley Foster of The Artichoke,
Camberwell. She is lastly,  the Mrs Florence Foster at the
Beech Tree, Bromley, where
she survived the pub being hit by a Doodlebug. This was apparently rather
better than the current pub, which I'm told is now a shadow of the original
building. ***
