Does anybody have any information or an online address where I can find info. on the Carpenters Arms in Littlebury, Saffron Walden, Essex. I have been told that it was run by William and Primrose Lofts in the 1940's. I have checked the Littlebury site and there is no mention of this pub. Thank you

I have quite a few Licensed Victuallers in my family file ...... for those who may have had any in Essex County, this site is wonderful: http://essexpub.net/indexIan.htm It was a great help to me in providing information and I managed to contribute additional information. :)

Rod said in a message, that it would be nice if BG Forum Members posted some photos in messages, I'm going to give it a shot ..... and hope it works! My husband's Gt. Grandfather, Frederick James Grant-Salmon, owned a few Pubs, but the Graving Dock Tavern is the only one for which I have any...
