The inscription near the roof of the
pub indicates that it was built in 1892 as 'Ye Olde Black Bull' and it
retains that name today.
The Newham Story website [visit link] tells us:
"This Pub on the corner of
Stratford High Street and Chant Street is in the 1850 PO Directory as 'Old Bull'
& 1874 as 'The Old Black Bull', apparently was AKA 'Mooney's Imbibing
Emporium' in its early days and was reverted back to 'Mooney's' in the 1990s,
however has currently reverted back once more to The Black Bull. In 1881 Census
(with no name). It has a carved black bull high on the frontage which is used as
an inn sign."
The picture, on the sign, shows a black
bull in a meadow. The muscular beast is giving the artist a looking
at!
