The Pindar of Wakefield, a pub on Grays Inn Road, was in existence at least as early as 1692 (see Records below). Information on publicans gleaned from trade directories etc. from the period 1732–1944 can be found at UK Pub History (see Sources below).
Nomenclature has shifted over time. Lockie in his Topography (editions of 1810 and 1813) refers to the entire course of Grays Inn Road as "Gray's-Inn-Lane"[1] – he has no entry under, or cross-reference from, "Grays Inn Road"; Edward Stanford's 1862-71 Library Map of London and its Suburbs labels the narrower part of the street along Grays Inn "Grays Inn Lane" but uses "Grays Inn Road" for the street north of Grays Inn where it becomes wider.[2] Nowadays the entire length is named "Grays Inn Road".
