Collier's End

Colliers End is one of the many hamlets which developed along a main road radiating out from London, in this case the London to Cambridge road.  In 1882 it had 7 pubs or beer houses, a blacksmith, a wheelwright and a hay and straw dealer to cater for the passing traffic.  Kelly's Directory, 1882.
