LEFT: Hockerill Street coping with 21st century traffic. RIGHT: This building was
a farmhouse in the 1500s and an alehouse named the Chestnut Tree in the 1700s.


Although most of this old malting was demolished when redevelopment took place
in 1984, some of it was renovated and made habitable.


The same view before and after redevelopment.


Not a great deal has changed in Hockerill Street since this picture was taken in 1937.


LEFT: Illustration of the Cock Inn, 1834. RIGHT: Before it was demolished in 1898,
part of the Crown Inn at Hockerill Street was used as a school.


Stansted Road was originally much narrower than it is today, these two pictures
clearly showing how much of the Red Lion Inn was taken down to make the road wider.
