The Golding family have held the house since 1825. The present licensee W J
Golding [1949] was born at the Blackbirds in 1879. His father who was also
born there in 1848, was a well known Essex sportsman, and W J Golding has
followed in his footsteps. He is vice-chairman of the Essex County Cricket
Club, Chairman of Leyton F C when they won the F A Amateur Cup in 1926 &
1927, President of the West Essex Bowls Club, and is well known in the
Coursing and Shooting world. He is also a keen Trade Protectionist, being a
Life Member Trustee of the London Central Board.
Many interesting old relics of Leyton are to be seen in the House. Photos of
the locality as far back as 1870 and of many sporting celebrities line the
walls. In view of the modern outcry against the "Tied House" it may be
mentioned that the house has been the property of Truman, Hanbury and Buxton
all the 124 years the Golding family have been in occupation. A long and
happy association. - Black Eagle Quarterly Journal 1949
