The Essex Yeoman opened on Friday, April 19th, 1968 in the main street of Upminster. The town has long awaited a pub in the High Street for many years. The linking of the house with the Essex yeomanry is much reflected in the decor and accoutrements of the room and the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment, Col G R Judd, T D, kindly attended to perform the opening ceremony.
The house is to be managed by Mr and Mrs McAuley, already accomplished to Essex having previously been at the Railway Tavern in Woodford. - Black Eagle Journal ***

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.
