Query re researching a beerhouse and beerhouse keeper in London 1911
« on: Monday 25 February 19 15:00 GMT (UK) »
In my research, I've come across someone running/having a beerhouse in central London on the 1911 census.  What records could I search to glean as much further information as possible about this please?  It would be good to find out what dates it was operated by this individual, but I'm looking for any additional information at all, really, to flesh out what I already know from the census.  He didn't have previous or subsequent experience as a publican/linked profession as far as I can tell.  Thanking you in advance for any suggestions/guidance.

Thank you both for these replies; I will look at the newspapers.  It is Frederick Langdon and the beerhouse was in Denmark Street.

It was number 27 Denmark Street. He's not there in the 1905 or 1912 Directories.
