The Duke Of Sussex was situated at 151 Haggerston Road. Known as The Overdraught prior to closure.
This pub was present here by 1839 and in the twentieth century was tied to the Whitbread Brewery.  It became a free house in 2001 and was renamed The Overdraught.  It was closed and boarded-up by 2005.

This pub has now been demolished to make way for a modern housing block (see site in photo below).

Opened in 1839 by my Gt GtGt Grandfather, William Wallis. He was born in Stamford Baron in 1796. His father was a cordwainer. He owned the land known as Wallis Gardens, behind the pub. His establishment was set to profit on the rapid expansion of the thriving city of London. William Wallis died in 1854. He had retired from the pub by then.
