Thought to be a different house from that shown by Ninham as being just within St. Martins Gate.

On Wednesday 14th August, 1839, Daniel Howlett as brought up for examination on the charge of allowing meetings of Chartists in his house, at which pikes were raffled for. Thomas Druery, a weaver, said he was "President of a Club of the Democratic Section", comprising about 20 members, which met at the house; he had seen pikes at the house, but only once, and Howlett was not present, and they had not been raffled for in that room. Howlett was held to bail, with two sureties bound for him.

The licence was dropped 1871 (by F. L. Scotter) but taken up again by Benjamin Bates in October of that year.

Before the Norwich Election Commission, Friday 17th September 1875, Christopher Sayer confirmed that the Liberals had hired a committee-room from him and paid £2 2s. About six messengers used the room and took out circulars and placards. He was asked to find ten men to act as `watchers'. Of the men he found, five were not voters. He claimed that he had never heard that messengers were corruptly employed in the 1874 election.


Licence provisionally refused 09.02.1909 and referred to Compensation.
Closed under Compensation 29.01.1910

Note :-
The Licence Registers show 2 houses in Oak Street operating as the ANGEL. Consequently licensees pre 1867 may be transposed.
