"Dirty dicks.-london
Do you know the story behind the name?
no.. I'd guess at either some King Richards or something to do with the Krays"
So this is what I was told.
Centuries ago Richard owned the pub. His wife to be died on their wedding day, and he vowed to never wash again. So the pub became known as Dirty Dick’s |
