Public Houses, Inns & Taverns of Coggeshall

The principal street traverses, approximately, the old Roman Road from Verulamium to Camulodunum, and at its western extremity is known as Stock Street; from Highfield's Farm to Market End it is called West Street ; proceeding towards Colchester the name is changed to East Street or Gallows Street, and beyond the Mount it is degraded to Rotten Row. From Market End, Stoneham Street runs at right angles to the Roman Road, and in a northerly direction towards Halstead, bifurcating at the Yorkshire Grey and changing name to Robin's Bridge Road and Tilkey Road, the former leading to Halstead and the latter to Mark's Hall. From Market Hill, Church Street takes a north-easterly direction and leads to the Church and thence to Earls Colne and Great Tey.
Beyond the Church, on the one hand, and the Mount on the other, Church Street is connected with East Street by Dead Lane. Bridge Street, the upper part of which was formerly called Cellar Lane, leads from the Market Place past the two bridges, when its name is changed to Grange Hill and Pointell Street [Tedric Pointell had property at Coggeshall at the time of the Domesday Survey] ; at the Hamlet is a road running to the mill and called Pointell Mill Lane. Bridge Street is connected with West Street by the Gravel. Church Lane, Back Lane, or Queen Street runs to the north of and almost parallel with Church Street. There are also minor ways known as Wayne or Vain Lane, Horn Lane, Crouches Alley, Curd Hall Lane, and Cuthedge or Coleman's Lane. (History of Coggeshall to 1884 by George Fred Beaumont )
