Romford pub history index
The Durham Arms at 101, Brentwood Road, Romford, Essex closed down in December 2018 and is thought to be destined to become a Co-op, although no plans in yet. It was going to be a Turkish restaurant with top half turned into five flats but this was refused in July of this year. **
