The Horse (later Horns) and Horseshoe had been on this site for some time before 1807 when its tenant was Allrich Eden, a German immigrant sugarworker. The pub was rebuilt in 1899–1900 to designs by Henry Hyman Collins, architect, acting for the City of London Brewery Company, with F. & H. F. Higgs, builders. It closed in 1997.1
