The Colgrave Arms was situated at 145 Cann Hall Road and is now closed and boarded up. The local press says it's going to become a mosque or community centre.

This pub was present as a beer house by 1869.  A full licence was obtained in 1886 and the pub was tied to Savills Brewery of Stratford, later passing to Charrington’s Brewery of Mile End.  It was a large, community pub which kept its 1950s decor and three-bar layout until the end.  As recently as 2006 it was described as “a busy pub with a lot of potential”.
