| Description: Francis Cordeira, who arrived from Goa around 1855, worked as a steward at the Royal Sovereign Pub, Shadwell. There is evidence that a drink called Arrack, made from a type of palm sap found in Goa, was sold at pubs in Erith, the Isle of Dogs and Shadwell in the 18th and 19th centuries. |
