My Grandmother, Bertha Freeman (nee Prescott)
from Yorkshire, was married to Dudley Freeman, who was a tenant farmer at
Lawns, Murrells and Traceys farms until he died in his sixties. Bertha
came to The Talbot as a widow in the late 30's/ early 40's, and my parents,
Gwendoline and Bernard Botwood, who had lived at Quendon for a short while,
moved in with her. I joined them in 1945. There were always 'lodgers'
there, as I think that my Grandmother sub-let during the war to make ends
meet, and this continued until we all left in 1957. The house as well as
the farms all belonged to Sir Drummond, and then to his son Sir Thomas
Spencer-Smith, of Suttons. He offered to sell Talbot House to my parents -
and here I am relying entirely on memory so don't hold me to it- with a
private mortgage for £6,000. My family could not afford this so we moved on
to the next rented property, and so on. Sir Thomas was a good landlord,
but died in 1959, leaving a wife and one son. ***

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.
