Records for Bures between 1830 and 1914 indicate there were a large number of pubs or beerhouses in the parish, possibly 13.
However on this page, only 8 can be factually accounted for.

Dates given are those found in the Records Office for some of the earliest tenants. This does not imply they were the first.

pub
The White Horse, Cuckoo Hill. circa 1869 - 1904
Now White Horse House opposite Friends Field.

The Spread Eagle:- This is a residential property located along the Sudbury Rd, opposite the entrance to Bevills Hall. Much speculation about this as a "Beer House" possibly during the 1700 - 1800`s
No factual documentation ever found. Mainly rumour.

Salamander:- residential property located between Cuckoo Hill and Bures Green. The land on which it now stands was known as "Parlour Inn Field" back in the 1700`s. May well have been the site of another "Beer House"

Meggs Meadow/Essex Knoll:- a map of the village dated 1898 show an "Inn" on the land adjacent to Bridge St
