proximity in 1871.
At the Docking Sessions, Monday, 27th September 1879, the magistrates
refused to renew the licence of John Nicholls on the grounds that they
would not approve a licence to a man who was admitted to be unfit to hold
it, he having resigned as manager.
The magistrates said that they would "give every facility to granting a
new licence to Mr. Nicholls, jun. upon application being made at the next
transfer meeting".
Friday, 22nd April 1887 - Sale of about 300 Dozen Choice Wines comprising
Vintage Ports, Old Bottled Sherries, Champagnes, Clarets, Hocks,
Burgundies, Liqueurs, &c.
In consequence of expiration of lease.
In August 1887, the Hunstanton & West Norfolk Railway Company announced
that there was a balance of £2,843 3s 10p available for dividend, of which
£640 would be absorbed by Preference Stocks, and the remainder, along with
a small surplus carried on from the last half-year, would allow a dividend
of £5 10s per cent per annum for A stock and £1 17s 6d per cent per annum
for B stock.
Having terminated the lease of the Sandringham Hotel, the lease had been
granted to Mr. Bolton of the Great Eastern Hotel, London.
On 10th September 1887, William Nicholls, late manager of the Sandringham
Hotel, advised that any persons having claim against the Sandringham Hotel
Company, at Hunstanton, Limited, should render such claims no later than
Monday 12th September. Any later claims would not be entertained.
(A property called Sandringham House was conveyed to Elijah Eyres from Hamon Le Strange
23rd October 1914.)
House requisitioned by the British Army in 1940 and sold to the
Hunstanton Council in 1945. The ground floor then made into a library
and the rest of the hotel used as accommodation rented out to the RAF
and USAF. On the south side and to the rear was the Casino Ballroom and
the Hole In The Wall Bar.
(Both run by Mr Peter Turner from 1950 to 1962)
The Casino became the Sunset Rooms in 1964 and George Pratt was the
manager.
In 1962 the available bars were identified as:
The Hole in the Wall
Top Bar
Smoke Room
Long Bar
& Casino Bar.
Closed 1965
Demolished 1967
In 1970 the HARLEQUIN BAR,
a prefabricated building, was erected on the site and the remaining area
used as a car park. Shops and flats were built on the site in 1984.
History 1940 to 1984 thanks to Dick Melton of
Hunstanton 17/10/2018.
