Twenty years ago there was an ABBEY GATE in Stanwell Street, Colchester, doubtless named after the beautiful gateway of St. John’s Abbey, which still stands. At the same time there was a BETTING-STAND at Galleywood, where the Chelmsford Races are held, as well as an EXCHANGE INN and a CHELMER INN, both at Heybridge. There is a MARK’S GATE in Markgate, Dagenham; and a MARSH GATE at Stratford. Eight Essex inns are named after the great GLOBE itself, while the WORLD’S END appears, at last, to have been discovered near Tilbury Fort. This is a very proper name, if, as has been thought, Tilbury is derived from two Saxon words, _Til_, end, and _burgh_, city, _i.e._, the city at the end of the river road. A beer-house keeper at Paglesham, however, seems also to consider that the WORLD’S END is situated in the vicinity of his house. Probably both are equally right and equally wrong. The GLOBE at *Epping is mentioned in the _Chelmsford Chronicle_ for January 13, 1786. At Bocking there is a beer-house known as the DIAL, a device not named by Larwood and Hotten. At the same place there is a PARK END beer-house, and at Felstead another, known as the PYE’S BRIDGE tavern. A beer-house at Chigwell styles itself the RETREAT. At Waltham Abbey is a FLOWER POT. A beer-house at Inworth is known as the NEW TIMES, while another not far off styles itself the OLD TIMES, probably out of rivalry. At Great Baddow a beer-house appears as the NEW FOUND OUT. At Chelmsford there is a UNITED beer-house, and a CORNUCOPIA at Southend.
