Mitre, East Hill, Colchester

The Historical Directory of Pubs in the South East of England, including London

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.

Will of Edward Miles - Essex Record Office ref CR21 545 ***

My gt-gt-gt-grandfather was the Edward Miles who was licensee of The Mitre public house, East Hill, Colchester from (at least) 1828-1833.

His Will, proved in 1834, left everything that he possessed 'To my beloved daughted Sophia Albra Now the wife of Martin Ryan and now in the occupation of the House called the Mitre Public House East Hill Colchester in the County of Essex'. So it would appear that the Ryans held the Mitre before Mr. Folkard took over in 1839. (Martin Ryan died in 1839, although there is no trace of what happened to Sophia.)

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!
