 The inquest into the suicide of Stephen Turner was held at the house on Friday 25th July 1845. That day, the deceased had been found hanging from a beam in the stable some two hours after he had apparently placed a nine-pin on top of a measure in order to reach the beam.
In a low state of mind regarding family concerns, a verdict of Temporary Insanity was reached.

ANGEL GARDENS
During the period of Arthur Clarke - c1935
(The chap holding the stick is Ernest Clarke, father of Arthur.
He had died by 1939)

As the NEW ANGEL at St. Clements in the Field 1830.

As the ANGEL PLEASURE GARDENS in late 1800's.

Music, singing and dancing licence granted 22nd August 1891.
The gardens were 50 yards square and held a stage 38 feet by 22 feet (?) upon which, in fine weather, performances took place. In bad weather there was a large room with a small stage at one end. A greater part of the value of the premises would be lost if the licence was not granted.
With no objections, the licence applied for was granted.

On Tuesday 5th December 1848, Samuel Davey was charged by landlady Mrs Carter of being disorderly and of breaking a window in the Angel.
Davey said that he was a funny singer and had been invited by Mrs Carter to attend the Free and Easy which was held the previous night. Although he gained no money, he got plenty of beer. He was used roughly and his hat had been damaged.
He was fined a total of 8s 6d which included damages and costs, or 21 days imprisonment. He went to prison.

 

  In 1961 the BYSTANDERS FILM CLUB commenced a survey of Norwich public houses.
Unfortunately, by 1968 the challenge remained unfinished and Watney Mann had taken over the local breweries....Toilet facilities (Conveniences) were rated on cleanliness and general standard.
This house was rated as follows:-		  
 
Bullards No Draught Cider
Darts Conveniences 4 (5 being the best)
Parking  
Modernised A'La Magdalen Street.
Not too bad, quite nice old tables.
Took a long time to fine cyder and didn't know how much it was.
Very clean.
