The Foundry Arms

C. 1905

Initially a Beer House, the name came from its association with the foundry workers who worked up a thirst at nearby Paxman's.

The house was first mentioned in records dating to 1907 when it was a Beer House owned by the Colchester Brewing Co.
It passed onto IND Coope in the 1930s and in 1956 it was granted it's Full Licence.

The Foundry Arms is now owned and operated by the Land-lord and -lady: Christopher and Eve Potts, who took over in August 2012. It is their dream to see the Arms restored to its previous glory and to offer a warm, friendly and welcoming environment where individuals and their families can drink and relax in the company of friends.
