Raglan Street was renumbered between 1888 and 1891, the pub was at 33 or 34 and became 61.
Robert Charles Jago was my great grandfather who owned/ran the pub in the 1890's and into the 1900's. I thought you might like to know that I have found some other sources that indicate it was named Hearts of Oak in the 1890s:- Both the 1891 & 1901 census has Robert living at 61 Raglan St. In 1891 after the address it just indicates "Public House". In 1901 it indicates "Hearts of Oak tavern"…
