Susan Clarke, wife of John Clarke of the Kings Head, Dickleburgh, died
Saturday 9th June 1866.
Messrs. Adnams applied to the Magistrates Wednesday 8th March 1911 to do
away with the existing cellar and provide extra storage at the rear of
the building. Police Superintendent Southgate said that it would not
make the premises more difficult to supervise and had no objection to
the proposal. Approved.
Police-constable Nightingale visited the house in plain clothes on 11th
July 1928 and observed two men in the cellar with licensee Fred Smith.
The time was seven minutes past four in the afternoon and the house
should have been closed. Half pint glasses of beer were in view but
Smith said that none had been drunk, they were a treat for his guests
and there was no payment involved. One of the `guests' was a Dickleburgh
resident, a retired Colonel by the name of James. He confirmed that no
beer had been drunk.
Since there had been no previous complaint against the landlord the
magistrates were unwilling to record a conviction and said that would be
the case if he paid costs. The others were fined 5/- each, including
costs.
On Monday 31st October 1932, furniture belonging to
Frederick Smith was sold by auction, since he was leaving the area.
