A notice published 8th February 1845 requested that all those indebted to the late William Reeve were to settle their account with his Executor, William Barber, tailor, of the Quay, Great Yarmouth.
Mrs Martha Reeve advised in a notice dated 6th February 1845 that she lamented the loss of her late Husband, who had left her with a Family of Eight Children. She gave thanks for the liberal patronage they had received over the previous 22 years and informed her Commercial Friends and the Public that she intended carrying on the business in all its branches.....

The Trustees of the late Mr. Aaron Thrower instructed that the house be Sold by Auction Thursday 26th August 1869. "For many years in the occupation of Mr. John G. Franklin."

Seems to have had a separate licence for the
CROWN & ANCHOR TAP
which had access from Crown & Anchor Row according to Robson in 1839.
The 1871 census suggests an entry from row 61.

At the Licensing sessions, Tuesday 21st August 1900 it was said that "as far as memory stretched back, there had never been a door from the Crown & Anchor opening into Row 59". The renewal of licence to Mr. Keates was opposed on the grounds that alterations had taken in an old hairdresser's shop and turned a small room at the back into a smoke room, resulting in a door on Row 59, directly opposite the premises of Messrs. Lacon & Co.
Retired police-constable Snelling said he had been hired by those against the developments to keep an eye on the premises, and from 3rd August he had noticed that bar trade was extensively more since the alterations. It was said that there was now intolerable nuisance in the Row and everything that transpired in the bar could be heard in the premises opposite.
The Magistrates decided that no doors should be allowed into the Row and licence renewal was withheld until the Adjourned Sessions, for the purpose of ascertaining whether their decision was adopted.

On Friday 13th January 1905 the licence was transferred and it was stated that the rent was £260 per year.

Licence removed to `Fowlers Plot ', Caister Road - Premises (to be) named the BURE HOTEL. Licence removal declared final 12.12.1939.
(Fowlers Plot also mentioned as Fowlers Camp).

The sites of the STEAM PACKET and the CROWN & ANCHOR were combined in the development of the YARE HOTEL, the new house opening 13th December 1939. (Closed 1974)
