My Essex ancestors were the Grout family of Loughton. As far back as I have been able to go, early to mid 1700, the family were living on Baldwin's Hill in a loppers cottage. This became a beer shop, then grocer and beer shop, and eventually The Foresters Arms, which it remains today.
I understand that my particular branch of
the family remained in the pub until the 1920's some time - could even have been
later. I believe the Grout family who at one time owned Foresters and Gardeners
were reasonably " well off" and owned quite a few cottages in the vicinity of
Baldwin's Hill, which they sold. They also held title to some of Epping Forest a
large part of which was appropriated by the
council - way, way, back.
Another branch of the family had the Gardeners Arms on York Hill. My
grandparents Grout had the Anchor Inn and the Kings Head in Guisborough. (N.Yks).
My aunt Hampson had the Buck Hotel in Guisborough. Aunt Hampson then had the Old
Dog in Preston, Lancs., and the Mount Pleasant, Cocker St/High St Blackpool.
Father-in-law Wood had the Crown and Anchor in Redcar North Yorkshire ***
