Plaque

Joe Jenkins

Inscription

London District of Fitzrovia.
Joe (you're all fg barred), Jenkins, 1929-2010, ex proprietor & old git, regularly swore at everybody on these premises.

We published this plaque in 2011 and don't think it was up for very long. Smaller than your average plaque, this was probably the bluest one in London.  Now it's gone, Andrew Ruppenstein suggests that Priss Fotheringham takes that title.

Site: Joe Jenkins (1 memorial)

W1, Rathbone Street, 23, Newman Arms Pub

Completely London contains a lovely watercolour of this plaque and some historical information about the pub.

2026: Andrew Ruppenstein from the informed us that this plaque has gone (so we've marked it as lost) but another one has arrived, in the passageway - a more general one about the pub's history.  We'll revisit.
