In the 18th century the building was run by licensee Thomas Topham [1710c-1749], known as the string man of Islington`, A former carpenter, Topham performed various feats of strength in London, the provinces and in Ireland. In 1749, suspecting his wife of infidelity, he stabbed her to death in a jealous rage then killed himself. From 1794 the Apple Tree tavern was much frequented by those newly released from cold bath fields prison.
