August 1908 - DEATH in an INN YARD COGGESHALLL. Late Thursday night, John Musgrove, until lately in the employ Mr. G. C. Creek, mineral water manufacturer, of Coggeshall, was found dead in the yard of the Locomotive Inn. Miss Jepp, a neighbour, heard someone groaning, and found Musgrove lying on the ground, apparently dead. Dr. Corner was sent for, but could only pronounce life extinct. The deceased, since being out of employment, had been sleeping out at night.
The Licensee at the time of this photo was Robert Oliver Barnard. On the original photo his name can just be made out on the sign above the doorway left of the gas lamp.
