A wine merchants business when taken over by the Davis Brothers by 1896. A Full, 6 day licence with an early closing restriction, was held by 1903. First identified as the Vine Stores in 1925 directory. `Peatling & Cawdron (owned) pub, down the back of Oak Street behind their wine merchant's shop'. (Thanks to Tina Sherwood). The Vine Public House was in the yard behind the wine merchants shop. The premises consisted of two small rooms and an adjacent billiard room. The bar was commonly known as the Thatch Bar because of the canopy above the main bar. The Saloon Bar had a separate entrance. As was the typical of many public houses, the toilets were located on the opposite side of the yard. (Thanks to Peter Boggis of the Fakenham Community Archive, via Mike Welland) Described 1937 as a Free House, complete with 2 billiard
tables. |
