Mr. & Mrs. Vasser announced 23rd June 1849 that they had
entered the Inn, which had been tastefully fitted up and was replete with
every convenience for the accommodation of their friends.

COCK INN
on the High Street remains unknown. How long the name remained on the house
is also unknown, but it is not found 1851 or after.
On Saturday 15th March 1851, Mr. John Blake announced that since his
Opening Dinner had been advertised, the Assizes had been scheduled to

Cricket Ground, adjoining the NEW INN,
would hold its inaugural match on Friday 8th July 1853. The match would
be played between the Gentlemen of Attleborough and Neighbourhood.
In December 1854, John Canham expressed his most grateful thanks to the
Nobility, Gentry, Commercial Gentlemen and the public for their
continued and increased support. His Friends had agreed to celebrate his
success with an Opening Dinner to be held on the day of the next
Attleborough Horse Sale, Thursday 28th December 1854.
