As FIVE AWLS in 1846 Post Office Directory

William Priestley was transported for life on Wednesday 8th August 1827 upon being convicted of stealing £33 in provincial bank notes from the person of William Neave, the younger, at the FIVE ALLS.

At the licensing sessions Monday 7th March 1910 it was said that the population of Walpole St. Peter was 1,147 and there were 9 licensed houses and one brewers licence in the area. That worked out at one house for every 114 souls, not counting the brewers licence. The annual value of the house was £16 5s, the rateable value £13, the rent £12, and the licence £4. The house was in good repair. The nearest public house was the BELL, 154 yards away. The licence of the FIVE ALLS was not considered by the Superintendent Bentham to be necessary to the neighbourhood.
Cross-examined, the Superintendent confirmed that he knew the tenant well, he was an ex-Metropolitan policeman. Representative for the brewery asked for other evidence to be heard, and he had influential witnesses who had come to court at considerable inconvenience. The committee Chairman said `I think the case must rest where it is.'
