1950/Jim Church/../../../Black Eagle Journal ***

"While not unique, a double sided inn sign is sufficiently unusual to have aroused considerable interest. Especially around the docks area where the Tidal Basin Tavern is known as one of the most persistently blitzed of all dockland houses.

On Monday, January 30th, a new sign was unveiled there by the bos'n of the Royal Mail Ship, Highland Brigade. The sign bears on one side the painting of the Highland Brigade, a 14,700 ton vessel, and on the other a painting of the Teviot, a paddle steamer which sailed from the London Docks in 1847.

Jim Church, the licensee of the Tidal Basin Tavern, and his wife, are well known to the crews of the Royal Mail Line Ships, which berth at the Royal Victoria Docks, adjacent to the house. At the time of the unveiling, the Highland Brigade was at anchor and the outline of the ship, against the skyline behind the Tidal Basin Tavern, was a fitting background to such an occasion.

A party from the Bolivian Embassy was present at the unveiling (the Royal Mail Line Ships call at S America0, and J W C Lynch, R J Bracken and H G Spillane represented the brewery." - Spring 1950 'The Black Eagle, Quarterly Journal of Truman's Brewers ***

J Burton, died on May 16th 1961, aged 90 years. He had been the licensee of the Prince of Wales, Enfield, for twenty seven years; and previously at the Tidal Basin Tavern and the Ram, Silvertown - Black Eagle Journal ***
