Mr. S. Sanderson advised his Friends and the Public that he had taken the Inn, 14th July 1792.

Sheringham council erected a post to prevent fishermen's barrows traversing Slippers Loke. Charles Holsey removed the post 15th June 1903. A criminal case ensued and ended up in the London High Court, costing both sides several hundred pounds. The post seems to have survived and was known as the "Spite & Malice" during its lifetime.

Given as at Lower Sheringham 1888
