History of the Eight
Bells
In Ida Mcmaster Book
"Mount Bures its Lands and its People" she
makes reference to a Police Constable Cook arresting
Sam Collis for Murder
Sam Collis was a frequent visitor to the Eight Bells
Inn dated 1705
In 1920 the Colchester
Brewing Co took over Charrington Nicholls with their
East Hill brewery plant with 50 pubs including the
Eight Bells.
Other local Nicholls
pubs included the White Hart at West Bergholt, The
Swan at Chappel, The Sun at Lexden, Bird in Hand at
Earls Colne and The Shoulder of Mutton at Aldham
In 1925 the pub was
owned by Ind Coope (Romford Brewery) who in that year
bought out 214 pubs owned by the Colchester Brewing
Company. The Ind Coope sign was not used until 1927,
sometime later George Bolton took over as licensee
and motor engineer at the Petrol Station next door
The current Licensee
Mr and Mrs Amos purchased the property in 1992

FIRE.-A
disastrous fire was narrowlv averted in the early
hours of Wednesday morning the Crown Inn. Bures. Licensee
J. Nunn was awakened by smoke in his room and upon
making further investigations found the lower rooms
filled with smoke.
Groping his way downstairs he discovered flames issuing
from the chimney piece in the large room at the rear
of the bar. whilst everything was smothered in soot.
Rushing into the yard he procured pail of water and
dashed it on the flames, which were quickly subdued,
not before, however, woodwork in the room had been
severely scorched. The outbreak is attributable to
smouldering soot which had accumulated in the chimney.
