If you have a query then try the search engine first, if you have something to add to the historical Pubs site, please email - and as an added incentive, - if you offer useful information for a Public House or Beer House, then I will usually add lots of extra detail / landlords. All non-copyright pictures are always welcome; BUT, if I do not have relevant pictures on the site, then I do not know where to find them.

Dolphin, Hythe Street/Hythe Hill, Colchester

Hythe Hill and the Dolphin in 1887

Kindly provided by Jess Jephcott from http://www.camulos.com

The earliest mention found is from Michaelmas 1757, when William Summersum informed Gentlemen, Farmers and others' that he had removed from 'the Dolphin in the Hyth parish to the White Swan in the same parish.' It first appears in the alehouse recognisances of 1764 and then through to 1819, when the trail continues through trade directories. ***

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!
