Beer retailers often relate to an off licence, but also many of the well known Public Houses that exist in modern times actually began life as a simple beer house. There is a natural problem linking beer retailers to a Public House, as the beer house is literally that, it is a beer house and not a named licenced premises. The only recognition that beer houses usually had was a sign outside which was usually well known to the local residents, but not very well documented. Although all of Essex is listed, this is particularly aimed at the East of London, as these areas were changing most rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries as London increased in size in a magnitude.
