May 2013 - ex Anchor (opposite White Horse)
90 barrels a beer drawn in the year 1904
According to the Norwich Mercury :-
Monday 6th February 1905 - Owners Lacons and occupier Mr. Brown applied
for renewal of license following each receiving notification that the
licence was not required.
Police Inspector Lewis had measured the front of house to be 18½
feet. The White Horse stood opposite with a distance of 27 feet 9 inches
separating the two houses. The Ship inn was 31½ feet distant.
The representative for Messrs. Lacon said that the house was very and
the only one owned by them in the Holt Division. There had been no
complaint against the house and trade was very respectable at 90 barrels
a year. Since there was no fixed tenancy guaranteed, tenants could not
be expected to spend large sums of money on the house. It was not a
pretentious house and used by the labouring classes who appreciated it
as the only outlet for Lacon's beer in the district.
Upon confirmation from the tenant of the business and custom, the
Chairman said that the licence would be renewed.
(Another newspaper reported that the decision to renew the licence was
referred to the Quarter Sessions. This appears to nave been in error).
Licence renewal not applied for May 1954
