At Swaffham Petty Sessions, held 4th May 1867, Noras Carter,
licensed victualler, was charged by police-constable Johnson of having
his house open for sale of beer at illegal hours on the morning of Good
Friday. Fine of 6s with costs of 12s.
For sale by auction Friday 5th June 1868.
`In the occupation of Mr. L. S. Bidwell, or his undertenant Mr. Morris Carter, at a rent
of £23 per annum; Containing 2 Front Rooms, Cellar and 5 Bedroom, Cart lodge, Shed,
Garden and Pightle of land adjoining, a total of 0 Acres 3R 27P.
Licence considered unnecessary at the Annual Brewster Sessions, Monday
4th February 1907. Messrs. Bidwell & Co applied for the licence to be
renewed on behalf of Lord Amherst of Hackney. They confirmed
that the licensee was not their tenant but employed by His Lordship. The
Chairman said he did not understand the situation since Lord Amherst
had said some years previously that he wanted the house done away with,
he had always wanted the house done away with and was willing it should
be done away with. Renewal to be considered at the adjourned
meeting which was scheduled for the 4th March 1907. The Chairman said
there was no chance that that the licence would be renewed the following
year.
At the Kings Lynn Compensation Authority Meeting on
Tuesday 9th July 1907, licence renewal was opposed and it was claimed
that there were no objections from the owner or the tenant. It was
pointed out that the tenant, Mr. Thomas Gathercole had been at the house
for eighteen years. <From 1889?>
Licence refused and referred to compensation by consent.
But seemingly the house survived a further two years to 1909. |
