House
No. 288 on 1845 Magistrates list
|
Identified as `Le Godes Hous' 1347.
Said to be the KINGS ARMS to 1804,
but named as the BRITTONS ARMS in 1760 &
1763.
Listed in 1811 as the BRITON ARMS but no
licensee given.
The TRUE BRITON 1864
according to Simpson.
Closed for the duration of the war from 1st April 1941,
as letter from S&P dated 9th May 1941.
A letter from S&P dated 23rd January 1945 gives the intent to recommence business and a new
licensee was appointed. However it seems that the house never reopened as a public house.
On Tuesday 8th May 1945, Messrs. Steward & Patteson Ltd. applied for
transfer of the licence to 1, Rackham Road. The application was opposed
by Messrs. Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs Ltd. since the tenants of the
nearby Crawshay Arms would suffer. It was said that the Briton Arms was
the oldest licensed house in Norwich.
By a majority, the magistrates approved the transfer.
Licence transferred to the LOAF 27th August 1945.
Operates today as a Restaurant / Tea shop.
