West Thurrock pub history index
The Fox & Goose at West Thurrock became a well and truly dead pub on Good Friday, 2012. It was bulldozed to the ground much to the annoyance of the local residents and following its recent closure. I have many fond memories of the pub and I first set eyes on my wife there nearly 40 years ago. +
