Re Eunice and Ron's query:
I can offer nothing technical about steam, and research about publicans may
be best pursued in the licensing records - where surviving - at the London
Metropolitan Archives, but for certain sure the New North Road crosses
neither the Thames nor the Lea but the Regent's Canal, where wharves are
a-plenty.
