Fobbing, White Lion Hotel c.1955

More about this scene
The original core of the White Lion—to the left of the picture—is thought to date from the 15th century. Fobbing's moment of glory was in the past even then: a local labourer called Jack Straw had been one of the prime movers in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. Chaucer mentions him in 'The Canterbury Tales' as a paradigm of noisiness: 'Jakke Straw …ne maden never shoutes half so shrille'. But then, Essex people were not known for going down without a fight.
