Originally the 'Pilot Inn and Ferry', the pub first opened in 1801.[2] Built by local landowner George Russell, it was located close to a tide mill (later replaced by a chemical works and then Blackwall Point Power Station), and its name has been associated with William Pitt the Younger, called 'The Pilot who weathered the storm' in a contemporary song.[3]
It is adjacent to a terrace of eight cottages described as "a rare survival of late Georgian artisan housing" and which are grade II listed.[1][4]
