The Pub History Sitemap

Brewery Tap, 73 St James Street, Walthamstow

This is the same place as the Essex Brewery Tap, 2 Markhouse Road. It was probably established in 1859, at the same time as the brewery itself, when the address was given as Marsh Street. The pub stands at the junction of St James Street and Markhouse Road, but appears to have moved to the opposite side of the junction when it was rebuilt in around 1906 (hence the two different addresses). It closed in 2006 and the premises are currently (January 2009) undergoing conversion to residential use. **

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010. Recommendations for a web site provider are: eukhost.com - see my Whats New page to clarify this

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
