The COCK
TAVERN in directories 1819 - 1869 and 1908 - 1933.
The `Ancient Cock Tavern' in 1822
At the licensing Sessions held 2nd September 1862 the
application for a (full) licence by Richard Ferrier was refused.
At the sessions held Tuesday 15th August 1864, Mr. Ferrier, for the brewers,
applied for a full licence - application refused. The application was in the
name of MIDDLEGATE TAVERN and
12 magistrates considered the matter.
At the licensing session Monday 28th August 1865 a full licence was again
applied for. It was stated that the house once held a full licence but it
had been removed to another house. The application was made knowing that it
had been refused for `many years'.
Two of the twelve magistrates fully supported the application. Mr. J. Pullyn
saying that he would licence 500 houses and thought that the whole system
should be `thrown open'. Mr. J. Owles echoed the call. Application rejected.
The MIDDLEGATE TAVERN in directories 1879 - 1900 and
1934 - 1937.
74 Middlegate Street 1881 & 1886
The licence registers suggest that the house became officially known as the Middlegate
Tavern in the 1920's.
Included with proposal discussed June 1937, for E. Lacon & Co. to exchange
four public houses in return for the Corporation conveying 1) a piece of
land, with a frontage of 200 feet, to Marine Parade, Gorleston, at the
south-east corner of Bridge Road and 2) a piece of land
having a frontage of 150 feet to North Drive and similar
frontage to Jellicoe Road, Great Yarmouth and 3) a piece of
land having 55 feet 1 inch frontage to South Beach Parade and 31 feet to
Dickens Avenue. It was expected that three of the licences would be conveyed
to the new sites and the fourth licence awarded to an existing beerhouse.
(PRINCE CONSORT)
Although the Chief Constable objected and members of the committee opposed
the Dickens Avenue proposal, the Mayor pointed out that otherwise Lacons
would have to be paid compensation for the loss of going concerns and the
matter had been considered by the Council for many months. The Council had a
fair bargain and nothing could stand in the way of the development of the
clearance areas concerned.
Licence removed to the
IRON DUKE 27.08.1940.
