Herbert A Green purchased the house in 1920, he was however refused a licence owing to his past history at the SUN. Instead the licence was issued to a manager. On Monday 1st May 1922, following the manager departing the house, the magistrates again refused Mr. Green a licence.
It seems the house was closed until a new manager was found.
By 1924 the magistrates appear to have changed their opinions.

~

Market day extension added to licence in 1956.
