Rainbow & Dove, Hastingwood Common, North Weald Bassett

Rainbow & Dove, Hastingwood Common, North Weald Bassett

3rd October 1999

Taken by Ian Rose

His Essex Churches web pages are HERE

From "Short Walks From Essex Pubs" (1996) by Norman Skinner:

"The pub, which once a farmhouse, was created to assist with the changing of horses on the Norwich to London coach. Originally known as the Rainbow, it's present name stems from the fact that there was once a bush in the forecourt cut in the shape of a dove."

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.
