The Mayland Mil was situated on Steeple Road. This grade-II listed pub is now used as an Indian restaurant.

Sad to see that another pub has fallen to the relentless tidal change in the British way of life. I remember this pub well as a Southminster boy. It was where I worked at weekends as a silver service waiter in the restaurant whilst still at school in the sixth form circa 1976. In fact I worked all day on a dairy farm and all night in the restaurant. ( I had to scrub my hands many times before work you will understand) ;-) The licencee at the time was a guy called Roy Pullinger as I recall. It was also at about the same time (1979) a haunt on Sunday nights for all the soul, jazz/funk devotees in the area at the time who had a guy called Gaff Hooper who DJ'ed the latest obscure releases at one end of the bar. I remember it well and playing the latest pub video game "Asteroids" endlessly. Oh happy days but long gone now.
