The London, Essex, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, Suffolk & Herts Directory - including Historical Pubs, in the South East of England

Do you want to purchase the londonpublichouse.com web site name? All my business is moving to deadpubs.co.uk and the OLD site name is FOR SALE. This is because lunarpages.com have deleted my site three times in as many months, so I am moving the sites to an UK provider.

Spotted Cow, Harwich Road, Colchester

Spotted Cow, Harwich Road (also known as Red Cow, and later the Flying Fox)
I have a copy of a document from a Colchester solicitor relating to a case heard at the County Court held at Colchester, 20 April 1866. John Vince of Ardleigh, farmer, plaintiff versus John Wenden, of Great Bromley, farmer, defendant. (John Wenden was an ancestor of my late wife)
Evidence of James Gardner - who had worked for Wenden for the past thirteen years: ‘The night was dark, with no moon. Near to the Red Cow or Flying Fox (Harwich Road, Colchester) he collided with another vehicle…’ **

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.
