For sale by auction Monday 7th March 1808.
Part of the extensive estate of the Assignees of William Fisher, brewer of
Chatteris. Listed in sale notification as the
GEORGE, with four cottages.
Offered To Let July 1828, including Stables and Orchard.
On Thursday 7th July 1870 a group of labouring men entered the house at
about seven o'clock in the morning. By eleven o'clock they had consumed
three pints of raw brandy.
Whilst they were carousing, William Goat, on old man with a wooden leg,
passed by and they called him in. Mr. Goat was then treated to three
measures of brandy, the first being about one gill, which he drank in
three draughts. At about eleven o'clock he sat down and rested his head
in his hand. It was soon after this that he was found to be dead. At the
inquest the following day it was said that the brandy had hastened his
death, but cause was the result of acute bronchitis and serious
congestion of the lungs.
The Jury wished the Coroner to caution the landlord against permitting
people to drink raw spirits at such an early hour and in such immoderate
quantities.
(Unfortunately the landlord is not named in the report)
Address also as Downham Street.
Demolished for `road improvements' c1966
