'The Norton', Cold Norton
The only pub I know of with a name that celebrates an old 'British bike'. Maybe somewhere there's a 'Matchless', or an 'Ariel Square Four', or a 'Black Shadow'.
But - to return to the photograph: beyond the pub the road narrows - crossing a bridge over an old railway cutting. The railway has long since gone, closed even before the Beeching era. I suppose the village chose to keep the narrow bridge to slow down the traffic.

Pub sign: 'The Norton', Cold Norton
Good to see a pub that commemorates an old British motor-bike. My Dad would have chuckled, though the bike he kept in the garage into his old age was a Royal Enfield.

The Norton in Cold Norton
I can attest they pull a jolly good pint at the Norton! https://wineandkitchen.co.uk/ Thankfully This excellent boozer has been saved from the clutches of property developers who started their plan to close the pub in 2007 in early 2015 the pub was finally saved.

The village sign in Cold Norton
Came across this while out geocaching on the Dengie. There's a geocache nearby, in case anyone's into that.

Forget me nots on the Forgotten railway
The permanent way does not look so permanent now. The Maldon to Woodham Ferrers line finally closed to goods traffic in 1953.
