Built on the site of a 17thC house.

Located on the North West corner of Row 133, facing South Quay.

Advertised to be Sold or Let 26th June 1852.
`Situated on South Quay, opposite the Ferry. The house contains 17 rooms, does first-rate business, and is to be disposed of on account of the present occupier leaving England. Application to be made to Mr. Allen, Bell & Crown....'

On Friday 20th November 1903, Mr. Louth, the late tenant, objected to the transfer of licence to Mr. Wright. Mr. Louth argued that he should leave the house with the same amount of money that he arrived with and he had promised to object to the transfer until his claim was settled. The request for transfer had originally been made on 19th October but on 21st October the application was adjourned since an agreement had not been stamped.
The application was adjourned to the next transfer sessions on 15th January 1904 where the transfer was granted.
(Mr. Louth had been claiming 100 guineas compensation since trade at the house was not as he had been led to believe and prior to him, there had been three representatives of the brewery trying to make a go of the business. On 31st March the house was open for 17 hours in which time the takings were 4s 8d. "The lowest weeks takings were about £4, not enough business to feed the rats." For the brewers it was said that they would not pay him fourpence.)



The licence was opposed by the police, as a notice presented at the Sessions held Tuesday 2nd February 1904, but there was no follow up complaint, so the licence was renewed.

Closed for the duration of WWII according to a letter dated 01.10.1940.

Not found thereafter.
(Although licence still held 1953)

Site rebuilt as accommodation by 1990.
