Peto Arms, East Street, Barking

History of Barking

 This pub was built as the Peto Arms in 1850, later becoming the Railway Hotel in the mid 1890's; but was demolished in 1906 when the level crossing at East Street was replaced by a bridge. The listing in Kelly’s Directory for 1908 is interesting, possibly just showing the time lag between the research and the publication of these directories – or maybe the pub lived on briefly after the bridge was built. ***

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.
