Following on from Paul's thread about all the information that can be obtained just by having a pint in the pub that your ancestors once used, I wondered if people would be willing to offer their services to investigate their local pubs for those people who live too far away.

I could be persuaded to nip into the pubs in Colchester, Essex and also any pubs in the Bishopsgate London area. I would be thrilled if anyone could check out the drinking establishments in St Ippollitts, Herts Lyla

Lyla Do you know the Fountain Hotel in Colchester? I think it on a roundabout and near a train station. My parents had this pub in the early 1960's when I was born and I'd love to have any information about it. Lyndsey
