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.

When the Aspen Tree, Gobions Avenue, Havering Road opened in July, 1955, Mr A E Bone became the licensee. He moved there with his wife and two daughters from the Castle at Stratford after 12 years as its tenant.

Mr Bone must be one of the very few licensees who can claim to have been a Member of the Pharmaceutical Society. He dispensed medicines until 1943 when he decided that he preferred to dispense products which have more than healing qualities.

As a young man, Mr Bone was an accomplished batsman and played a lot of cricket, an occasion with the Essex Club and Ground XI. He played regularly for Highams park and knows Trumans Sports Ground well. Today, his hobbies are motor cars and reading history.

Although the Aspen Tree is a relatively new house, Mr and Mrs Bone have created a family atmosphere. Their daughters are both married but often help behind the bars at weekends.

The Shove Ha'penny team at the house are unbeaten at the time of writing; the star player is Charlie Ramsey, brother of Alf Ramsey, the England International Football Team Manager.

Mr Bone is President of the Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps, a famous local band.

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.
