Offered To Let September 1890 with occupation from Michaelmas. Apply Bullard & Sons, Anchor Brewery, Norwich.


The Lynn Advertiser of 25th November 1910 reported that ex licensee George Kirk had been summoned for selling a half pint of beer on 16th September without having a license as required by the Finance Act 1910.
Admitting the offence, he was advised by the Excise Officer that he was liable to a penalty of £50, but the department would be satisfied if he paid the actual licence duty of £4 5s 7d and the court costs. The Defendant said he did not take out the licence because he had never took enough money to do so. He had left the house at Michaelmas because there was no trade. He was now a labourer and since he had no licence, the brewery (Bullards) should not have sent him beer. He understood them promise to pay the licence. Mr King, a  Bullards representative was at the court and he said that although he knew nothing of the case, the brewery had not charged extra for the beer to cover the costs of a licence.
The Chairman ordered that the Defendant was to pay the total of £4 15s 7d for the licence and costs.

On Friday 12th November 1926 it was heard that Mr. E. Moody, Excise Officer, had entered the house on 4th September and asked for a glass of port, which was served to him. The tenant, Mr. Beckham held a beer on-licence, but not a wine licence. Although the house was entitled to a full licence, only a licence for beer sales had been taken out owing to the price of the wine licence and trade had not been as good as in normal times.
Investigations discovered that Mr. Beckham had been in the habit of buying six or seven bottles of port a month, on his private account, from Norwich wholesale firms, claiming it was for his own personal consumption.
Stating that he had been at the house for two years, Mr. Beckham admitted that he occasionally sold the port but claimed that he was unaware it was illegal.
The Bench ordered him to pay the cost of the wine licence, £4 10s and £3 costs.



Referred for Compensation 11.03.1927

Licence extinct 31.12.1927
