Only found in trade directories in 1830 & 1836. However on Saturday 7th June 1834, Mr. Thomas Rust thanked his Friends their support since he had opened the Tavern. He could provide excellent Stabling, good Beds, a pleasant Dining Room, with Refreshments as cheap as his customers may please; also that Families could be supplied with excellent London porter, genuine Home-brewed Ales and Table Beer, in any quantity. All Orders gratefully received and thankfully acknowledged. Table Beer Shops would find an advantage by applying, for Ready Money. On 23rd June 1832 it was reported that a dinner had been held at the Beehive in celebration of the passing of the Reform Bill. 17th May 1834 - Mr. Rust advertised that he had a Cast Iron Door, Lined with Sheet Iron, weight four hundred and a half, height five feet six inches, breadth two feet six, well fitted up with Patent Grey Lock! With Brougham Key!! and Russell Gimmers!!! Price and further particulars available from Mr. Thomas Rust, Bee-Hive Tavern, St. George's Colegate, Norwich. N.B. No Parson need apply who at any Public Meeting had taxed the Dissenters with being Plunderers, or that would wish to deny Dissenters the privileges of Universities. 7th June 1834 - Mr. Rust informed his Friends, and to prevent further trouble to himself, that the Cast Iron Door and Patent Grey Lock had been sold on the day which celebrated the Birth of the glorious King William, the Reformer, to a Gentleman who would admit as Tenant any Dissenter, Radical, Whig or Tory, of Respectability, who might apply, and that if any Parson or Steward could so far forget themselves, as to spit their sarcasm on any body of men, who, equally respectable as themselves, may conscientiously differ from them, they should expect to be repaid in their own coin. On Friday 2nd January 1835 a crowd of 4 to 5,000 persons were addressed outside the Beehive by Messrs Harboard and Martin, Reform Candidates in the Norwich Election. The Reverend T. Jackson and Mr. Rust also addressed the assembly. |
