The Jolly Cricketers public house was built around
1937 and stood at 127 Arterial Road, Nevendon, on the London bound carriageway of the A127.It replaced an earlier public house of the same name that previously stood in Nevendon Road and was probably built to take advantage of the then new A127 London - Southend Road. In the 1970s the A127 Nevendon flyover was constructed leaving the public house no longer directly on the A127 - the former London bound carriageway now becoming an exit slip road - and the Nevendon Road exit was closed off. It closed for business in 2002 and was acquired by a property developer. On 27th September, 2003, while still empty and awaiting demolition, there was a fire which destroyed much of the inner structure. This event made the headline story in the local Evening Echo newspaper. An unfortunate end for one of Basildon's few remaining pre-new town buildings. The building was then promptly demolished during September 2003 and the site has now been redeveloped for business use. Text written 2005 with revisions 2005-2007.
