Hornchurch, High Street 1908 - an example.

Number ONE - The  Essex Pub -  - enjoy, John Mead & myself plus others have put an incredible effort into updating Ian Hunter's Essexpubs site , this site continues to get better -  (01/01/2007). Plus the new Suffolk Pubs site. Actually, from 15 Feb 2007, the Essex Pub site will merge with my London Public House site - the name will remain the same, just in a different format. And improved, too!

In addition, there are now historical pub sites for Herts, Kent, Suffolk, Cambridge, Dorset and London (which covers a multitude of places, including parts of Sussex & Middlesex)

Number Two -  Seax  The Essex Record Office online search engine - The staff are totally committed and always extremely friendly and helpful. Well done. This search engine is free, and better than anything else I have ever visited. Just login as guest.

Three   The Cosford Database - the best site for Suffolk. Partially operating at present. & the Foxearth Historical society

Four The University of Leicester Digital Archives - Lots of trade directories , and lots more - all scanned and searchable through keywords.

Five - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle   Brilliant way of searching the IGI by village......... Thanks to Helen Wilson for this link.

Six - In Romford, another brilliant site - Romford, Now & Then , then there is the Romford Trade Directories site

Plus   http://www.cfhs.org.uk/1851Index/ - I know it is Cambridge genealogy - search the 1851 census.
