Charlie Brown's was the common name for the Railway Tavern pub in Limehouse, London. The pub was built on the corner of Garford Street and the West India Dock Road and greatly extended in 1919. The pub was demolished in November 1989 during construction of the Limehouse Link tunnel. == Source of the name == Charlie Brown was the landlord of the pub from 1893 until his death in June 1932. The exotic location in Chinatown, the character of the landlord and his large collection of curiosities from around the world made Charlie Brown's a tourist attraction. "Following his death, the 'uncrowned king of Limehouse' lay in state in his pub and his funeral procession was one of the biggest the East End had ever seen with 16,000 people gathered at Bow Cemetery."〔http://www.britannia.com/travel/london/cockney/cbrown.html〕 The pub was formally renamed as ''Charlie Brown's'' in 1972.〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=46477#s4〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlie Brown's, Limehouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
