At the Kings Lynn Compensation Authority Meeting on Tuesday 9th July 1907, licence renewal was opposed on the grounds that it was not needed by the neighbourhood, was in bad sanitary condition and was inconveniently situated for police supervision.
The Victoria was the smallest of the three houses in the parish which provided for a population of about 500. When visited by Superintendent Harvey it was in bad condition, but some improvements had since been effected.
Although near the church the Superintendent did not think that visitors  to the church would put up at the Victoria.
For the owner, it was said that it was not his opinion that a public house should be situated in a 40 acre field and not saying which licence should be extinguished, only one house was needed for the parish since five or six `public houses on wheels' visited taking orders and delivering bottled beer.
The magistrates considered that the house should close because it was a `notoriously badly conducted house' and in a bad sanitary condition.
The tenant claimed that he had lost £300 in entering the house.
The claim of bad conduct had been solved by the bad tenant having been got rid of and the house was now well conducted with a trade of about one barrel of beer a week and half a gallon of spirits.
With redundancy not proved the magistrates granted licence renewal and asked that structural alterations be made so that the problem did not re-occur the following year.
