  4. It always was packed when I lived in Colchester....I think it was on a Thursday we all met up.......Some of us used to meet up at the Rowhedge Anchor and then go on to Great Bentley.

    The Guzzi Club used to meet on Sundays at The Alma at Copford.

  9. That's actually a misspelling. It's the Great Benley Bike Meet and is reserved exclusively for owners of small Honda air cooled twins.

  16. This is the one right on the corner (Vine Cottage, 366 London Road), there are two (joined) behind it facing the lane.

    To the left are a pair of semi det cottages, which were both owned by women on their own. They face the green and are accessed off the track.

  20. Named after the pub that is actually the building in the pic.....The Turkey Cock Inn......Dick Turpin (see what I did there?) was reputed to have stayed there like he did in every pub and inn in the UK.
