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 01.04.1941,
as letter from S&P dated 09.05.1941.
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.
