Golden Lion, High Street, Romford

Also see the History of Romford

Listed as far back as 1440. This building dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. Considered "a fine specimen of the old inns which abounded in the town" and "the stables behind are full of reminiscences of the days of the stage coach with its spanking team of horses before they had to give place to the more powerful "iron horse" by Tasker.

 Drivers: Peter Reynolds & Frank Webster.
 This photo thought to have been taken in the courtyard of the Royal Pier Hotel.
 
Driver Peter Reynolds. At the wheeler heads, Frank Webster. A recognisable passenger behind box seat passengers is Frank Webster foster brother Tom Osbourne. My father seems to have written a list of the boys although now mutilated. One name is recognisable 'Lusty' who would be William Lusty the turtle soup magnate. Other names partly recognisable are Hone. (Hurn). Weter(land?)'
 

Formerly known as the Lion and the Red Lion

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems, Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
