This picture shows The Griffin public house in Old Road, taken from the opposite side of the street. The pub was originally called "The Coach and Horses" and is marked as such on a map of 1874. In 2009, Linda Lockert-Smith reopened it as a bar and music venue, named "Ronnie's Bar" as a tribute to her father, the jazz musician Ronnie Smith, but the business closed after three years. It was renamed Hope's Bar (about 2013-16) and Kaz's Bar before taking its present name. [Sources: OS map 1874, Clacton Gazette, 2012-16, personal recollection].
