Adjoining cottage in occupation of the Widow Wilson also included. The whole site being 36.5 Perches. Freehold. At the Annual Licensing Day, Saturday 4th September 1858 an application was made for a spirit licence.

William Sexton pleaded guilty on Saturday 19th April 1862 to stealing some old sacks from a shed belonging to Mr. C. Bacon, beerhouse keeper. Sexton had disposed of them on 11th April at a marine-store-dealer in St. Paul's, Norwich. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Application by Charles Bacon for a spirit licence, refused at the licensing sessions 5th September 1863. Charles Bacon was charged Saturday 19th December 1863 of having sold beer to persons who were not bona fide travellers, during prohibited hours, on the previous Sunday. The Deputy Chief Constable had called at the house between four and five o'clock on Sunday afternoon and found the front door locked and blinds of the tap-room down. He went to the back door and upon entering found some thirteen individuals. Most were smoking and several mugs were on the table, but only one contained beer. One of the assembly was George Taylor, who appeared to be quite drunk. Bacon was fined 5s and 13s costs. Application by Charles Bacon for a spirit licence, refused at the licensing sessions 2nd September 1865. Steward & Patteson records state that Mrs Goldsmith (widow), took over the house in December 1938, although the licensing registers records her as licensee from February 1939. |
