Barking pub history index
A listing of historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in Essex.
This pub is thought to have been present by 1605 and was demolished sometime after 1955. *
In 1825 and earlier there is a Royal William listed in Barking, with William Crook as licensee. I am therefore suggesting that this was called the Royal William at that time.
This pub was still in existence in 1961, I had my first drink in there aged 17. The area was already cleared of buildings and the pub stood alone alongside some factories and would have been demolished very soon after. ***
The address is listed as 8 Heath Street in 1881. *+
