According to the Norfolk News of May 3rd 1856, Edmund Eagleton of the
Rampant Horse (Late
VICTORIA TAP) and Mrs Ann Taylor of 24 Blue Anchor
Row, Charlotte Street, were both charged with keeping a bawdy house. (See
report under the
VICTORIA TAVERN)
On Friday 5th September 1856, at the Annual Licensing Meeting, it was
heard that the only complaint made by the police was against the Rampant
Horse Tavern, formerly known as the
VICTORIA TAVERN.
The Justices wished it to be understood that in all cases of serious
complaint, the future of the licence would not only be taken from the
individual keeping the house, but from the house itself.
<It appears that the Victoria Tap became the Rampant Horse in about
1856 and the Victoria Tavern continued on as a separate licence.>
Referred to Compensation 3rd March 1914.
Licence renewal refused 24th July 1914.
Licence expired 26th January 1915
