The Earl Of Essex was situated at 616 Romford Road. This grade-II listed pub was built by Henry Poston and WE Trent in 1902. The upper floors are now in residential use.
The Earl was a Courage pub and popular with the local Irish community. Before the arrival of satellite TV they used to have videos of Irish hurling and gaelic football games sent over from Dublin to show in the pub.
