Geoffrey Leigh advises, July 2009 :-
The bar was
the room on the left of the picture and the entrance was a door on the
side of the building. There wasn't a bar as such the beer was brought
from a store room at the back of the house probably in jugs from barrels
kept on the trestles. The only seating was wooden benches around the
walls of the room. There was outside seating and an area for playing
quoits.
Up until
Youngs, Crawshay and Young bought the pub it was called the Fen Beer
House (it is right opposite Blo' Norton Fen) and was run by the owners
who had other occupations such as smallholders, poultry dealers etc. Mrs
Holden sold it to YCY, when I suspect it got too much for her several
years after her husband died, in 1894 or thereabouts. From then on it
was called The Case is Altered because it has altered from being
independent to part of a brewery.
