History
The first mention of a pub on the site is in 1772, when it was known as The Coopers Arms; the name changed to The Lamb & Flag in 1833. The building's brickwork is circa 1958 and conceals what may be an early 18th century frame of a house, replacing the original one built in 1638. In the early nineteenth century the pub acquired a reputation for staging bare-knuckle prize fights, earning it the nickname 'The Bucket of Blood'. The alleyway beside the pub was the scene of an attack on the poet John Dryden in 1679 by thugs hired by John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester.
