The Bromley Hall Tavern was situated at 321 Brunswick Road. This pub was closed and demolished in 1968.
The Brom,as it was known was still a working pub at Easter 1969,when I was born upstairs! The famous/infamous armed robber,George Davis and his brother Rick were regulars,certainly not the trays,and definitely not the Dixon brothers either, whereas the scrap yards that surrounded us,run by families like the Tibbs,were also very welcome. We moved to the Guilford arms off of chrisp street soon after I turned up, and made enough money to take our family away to the sunny climes of st johns wood. We still have a vast family there and we spent most of my childhood in poplar ,wapping and Stepney.

Name Dates Comments Barry Richards 1950s My grandfather, Reginald Douglas Richards was the publican until his death in 1957, my grandmother with the help of my father then took over. I remember it well, customers were dockers (all wearing flat caps), sawdust on the floor with an upright piano in the corner. Fond memories of helping out in the cellar. Stephen Sussams 1957-1965 My parents Jean & John Sussams were the landlord & landlady at the Bromley Hall Tavern from 1957-1965 when it was designated for demolition. I remember some of the customers, and staff. Johnny Price, he had lost his legs during the second world war, Julie and Fred, our much loved barmaid and her husband a docker, Dennis, he worked for the gas board and part time as a barman and Harry, our window cleaner and regular customer. David Hutchinson 1960-1965 Worked for John and Jean who ran that pub, I remember when the Kray gang used that pub on a Sunday night, they took over the saloon bar. The regular customers all stayed away. I was left to run the bar and John and Jean kept out of the way. At the time I did not realise who the gang was, but I remember them well. It was a relief when they stopped using the pub. Amanda Maloney 1965-1968 My Grandparents, Tommy & Kitty Malone, were the publicans between 1965 until it was demolished in 1968.
