The 1879 Kelly's Directory shows a William Warren as a blacksmith in Blyburgate Street.
The landlord's name recorded in 1881 is the same as the landlord of the Victoria Arms in 1891. (Possibly the Queen Victoria until about 1880, the Blacksmith's Arms from about 1881 and the Victoria by 1891.)

1881: William Warren ((Blacksmith & Publican, Blacksmiths Arms & Blacksmiths Shop, Ingate St., Head/Married/42y/born Mettingham))
