Where we are
HistoryWe're in Historic Harwich, a peninsula in the far North-East corner of Essex. Just across the estuary is Suffolk, the East is Belgium and The Netherlands.
“It has proven almost impossible to unravel the history of the pubs known over the years as the Bell, Blue Bell and the New Bell. We know that there was originally both a Bell and a Blue Bell in Outpart Eastward at roughly the same time and, probably to avoid confusion, the pub we know today was given the “New” prefix by the Collector of Dues for the Corporation. “The site and possibly part of the building was reputed to have been a blacksmith’s shop back in the 17th Century and the buildings were modified to become a public house around the middle of the 18th Century.” For a more detailed history, go to the New Bell Inn’s page on the Harwich Pub Trail website, a joint project between Tendring CAMRA and the Harwich Society.
