Six Bells, CHELMSFORD, Essex

The Six Bells was originally a pair of cottages built in around 1750. They were only recently knocked together. At the same time, a further earlier building dating back to the 17th century was also adjoined. This 3rd building faced onto Plantation Road and was probably owned by hop gardeners. Opposite here were The Maltings, and the cottages on Plantation Road, still bear that name today. You can still see the original timber framing in the pub.
