Year/Publican or other Resident/Relationship to Head and or Occupation/Age/Where Born/Source.

My 3x great grandfather Thomas Edwards was publican of the Seven Stars on 25 October 1827 (Proceedings of the Old Bailey). He later became publican of the Bull's Head, Jewin Street. I also believe his grandson (and my great grandfather) Edward Edwards was publican of Dirty Dick's Bishopsgate at some time. *

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.
