The ‘Magnet & Dewdrop’ situated on the corner of Westferry Road and Mast House Terrace, looking east. It was renamed ‘The Telegraph’ in 1985 but closed 10 years later.

The name is said to have its origins in the local iron and engineering trades, like the nearby but long-defunct ‘Ironmongers Arms'
