Full licence granted Tuesday 25th August 1868 to Larrance Dawes.

Stephen Amiss applied, on Monday 24th August 1891, for a music and singing licence. It was refused on the grounds that the room for singing was not large enough and the sanitary accommodation was defective.

On Thursday 9th February 1905 the Chief Constable objected to licence renewal owing to the back doors opening into enclosed yards common to other tenements. During the session he withdrew his objection and the licence was renewed.

A 6 day licence was held from 1872 to 10th February 1959, when the licence of the WHITE LION, St. Benedict's, was removed to these premises.

Address also found as 1 St. John Maddermarket and
1 St Johns Street.

 - The main bar WAS a rare gem.
The zinc topped bar was a rare survivor.
The back bar fittings with gilded mirrors offering
Whiskies, Cigars, Brandies, Gin & Rum
 were a delight.
