Thomas Greenwood Jnr (1779-1842)

Thomas Snr and Elizabeth lived just down the road from the Bull and Gate, and not far from Greenwood Place. When Thomas Greenwood Jnr inherited the pub in 1824 he was by all accounts residing in Russell Square. He married Esther Munden and went onto become a very successful stockbroker and land owner near Regents Park. He acquired Number 21 Cumberland Terrace in 1835.

He and Esther lived led a fairly comfortable existence, beginning as inn keepers and through their own business sense and possibly good luck, becoming very wealthy.

After Thomas Jnr’s death Esther felt they should give something back to the community, and in her husband’s honour she started the Greenwood Alms Houses near the old neighbourhood in Kentish Town. They still stand today as offices, but the plaque bearing the Greenwood name is still on the building.
