  In 1961 the BYSTANDERS FILM CLUB commenced a survey of Norwich public houses.
Unfortunately, by 1968 the challenge remained unfinished and Watney Mann had taken over the local breweries....Toilet facilities (Conveniences) were rated on cleanliness and general standard.
This house was rated as follows:-		  
 
Bullards
Darts Conveniences 3 (5 being the best)
   
Be careful when parking!
Bar, small room with ancient dart board.
Large room at back used by Jazz Club of same name on Monday and Wednesday evening.
Packed sardine like with beery floor.
Points of interest:- Gas cigar lighter in bar and ancient wooden water pump outside Jazz Club entrance.
