The Good Intent was situated on Crown Street. According to Tony Clifford, in his book Barking Pubs Past And Present, the Good Intent is listed in the Dagenham voters register of 1866/7, possibly in Crown Street, but he was unable to find any other record of it.

The Good Intent was located adjacent to a stream that crossed Crown Street. The pub was owned by my great grandparents George and Emily Band. They moved to the Church Elm, Heathway where Mrs Emily C Band was licencee from 1912-1914. Her only son was killed aged 18 in WWI and my grandmother and her first husband took over. My grandmotherwas widowed, remarried George Arnold and left the pub business. My mother was born in 1920.
