Jolly Cricketers, Nevendon, Essex
The Jolly Cricketers was built in 1927 and it actually replaced a ‘beer house’ known as the Bell which had stood close to the same location on the Nevendon Road. The Jolly Cricketers name itself had previously been used on another long-existing pub at a location about a half-mile distant at what is now the junction of Cranes Farm Road and East Mayne. So the Jolly Cricketers Pub in the photo replaced a ‘beer house’ on the same site but took the name of a nearby pub which had itself existed in the 1800s and possibly from even earlier.
The Jolly Cricketers, boarded in 2002, prior to the fire.

I have just found my father, Percy F Calcutt on your pub website. The
Jolly Cricketers, Nevendon, Basildon, Essex was built in 1927. My father
became tenant on 22.10.1936 and remained so until retiring on 11.3.1975,
aged 78. After that the pub went under management and downhill as well.
Now I understand it has been demolished. Officials met in the saloon bar
in 1947 to discuss the development of Basildon New Town. From the 1960s
when I worked there, it did a roaring trade particularly lunchtime from
the factory site. ***
