It first appears in records in 1785 as the Chaise and Horses, to be changed to the Chaise and Pair the following year. A deed dated 1795 mentions Thomas Stoneham, Susannah his wife and Robert Wright, brandy merchant as purchasing 'all that messuage or tenement called the Magpie Alehouse, since the Red Cow and now called the Chaise and Pair.'
During the winter of 1783, one 'Signior Invetto' favoured Colchester with his company and gave exhibitions of 'Grand Fireworks' in the Market Place in High Street. The announcement of these events stated that 'He makes and sells all sorts of fireworks at his lodgings, at the Chaise and Four Horses, North Hill, Colchester.'
In September 1789, a guinea reward was offered by William Walton, of the Chaise and Horses, for the recovery of 'a Grey Cropt Horse, Aged, About 14 hands high, with cut tail and hanging mane; has a sore on the off side near the the fore leg,' which had been stolen, or had strayed off the South Common, in the town. ***
