The Story

17th-century High Street coaching inn (post-boys of the Saracen's Head wore blue jackets). Home of the Chelmsford Tradesmen's Club from 1855. Used as American Red Cross HQ during World War II. The building still trades as a pub, renamed The Garrison in reference to the Peaky Blinders TV series — Untappd venue 10145119.

The name continues. The Garrison carries it forward.
