Spread Eagle, Little Bardfield

Spread Eagle, Little Bardfield circa 1955

During WW2 there was a broadcast to USA "From an English Country Pub" I assumed that the place was patronised by American Service personnel. There used to be press cuttings of the event in the bar when I visited around 1955. I would hazard a guess that the carved sign was aquired from the Yanks.Does it look like the USA eagle? The painted sign then shewed an Osprey!!!  ***

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.
