The Lord Nelson was situated at 230 Commercial Lane. This pub was present by 1869 and was rebuilt in its present form in 1892 by architects Bird & Walters.  Into the 1980s it retained a fairly well-preserved, Victorian interior.  But closure came in 2005 and the premises are now in use as a restaurant.  It had been a Charrington’s Brewery pub.

There were two bars, the front bar (the public bar) and the rear bar, The Ladies bar, the entrance to the back bar was via a door on the side of the building so the women would not be seen entering and leaving!
