The closure of the house was approved in principle by the Estates Committee at a meeting 19th August 1969.

It was proposed to move the tenant to the BRICKLAYERS ARMS  but this seems not to have happened.

House closed 4th May 1970 under Watney Mann (East Anglian) Ltd.

Converted to accommodation.

 

  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 3 (5 being the best)
   
Friendly crowd and obliging landlord.
Close proximity to Bricklayers Arms creates a novel parking problem.
Television and darts in bar.
God knows what in Lounge.
General effect - Dingy - We liked it.
