Licences from the CROWN, Colegate and the JOLLY HATTERS, Cowgate, transferred 1928 to this new house.

Ancient Mile Cross boundary marker once stood in front of building,
from which the nearby MILE CROSS INN took its name.



  In 1961 the BYSTANDERS FILM CLUB commenced a survey of Norwich public houses.
Unfortunately, by 1968 the challenge remained unfinished and Watney Mann had taken over the local breweries....Toilet facilities (Conveniences) were rated on cleanliness and general standard.
This house was rated as follows:-
 
 
Bullards No Draught Cider
Darts Conveniences 3¼ (5 being the best)
Parking  
Lounge tediously suburban.
Bar OK if you are a union man.
Television.
Horrible set of pictures "Inspired" by the Guinness Book of Records.
Telephone type dialing dart scorer.
Fair selection of be-wildered and be-capped locals.
(Note for Tram fans - a mono-rail traverses bar floor)
 

 

  The Norwich Pub Survey of 1986, compiled by the Norwich Society, in association with Norwich City Council, assessed the house:-  
 
Approx date of building Listed Quality Pre-war fittings surviving
External Internal
1930 Mock Tudor No 7 No
Flat roofed extension in red brick of unknown date.
Mock Tudor frontage with two dormer windows and leaded casements.
Two rooms, lounge and bar, modern fittings throughout.
