On the corner
with Portwall Lane, the name above the door is George Plumley and the posters either
side of the door read ‘Removed to the White Hart Thomas Street’ which dates this
picture to around 1876. The Don restaurant by 1890 and later a temperance hotel the
building was lost in the blitz. The Angel Inn with its central drive through can
be seen just up the road. The pub was named after the Don Cossacks who originated
from the lower courses of the river Don in Russia, the name was adopted by many English
pubs when these Russian cavalrymen caused Napolean to retreat from Moscow in 1812;
however, most of these pubs were re-named when the Crimean war began and British
soldiers found themselves fighting against the Cossacks.
