Woodman Lane is the only remaining reference to the pub. Credit: Gary Stone
A photo of a long lost pub that once stood on Bury Road, Chingford, called “The Woodman”.
Seen above around 1890, the last landlord was John Wickes. He was fined one pound 19 shillings in 1877 for short measuring his customers.
The pub disappears from maps in the early 20th century and Woodman Lane is the only surviving reference to the pub.
