The King Street entrance February 1972.

House had entrances from Crown Road and King Street.

On the morning of Monday 18th July 1859 the duty constable found the house open for the sale of beer at 4 o'clock. The constable had warned licensee Moore some two hours previously. At the Magistrates Court Tuesday 19th July, the chief constable said the worst part of the offence was that accused offered to treat the officer, in order that the transgression be overlooked. Since Moore pleaded guilty and due to the fact that no complaint had ever been made against the house before, the fine of only 1 shilling plus costs was applied.

Morgans sales for 1960 were :-
215 barrels of beer
94 spirits.

Entrance on Crown Road known as STUDIO 4 from c1960.

The Upper King Street bar closed c1975.

 


  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:-
 
 
Morgans No Draught Cider
Darts Conveniences 3 (5 being the best)
   
Fine bass-relief mural in lounge by Murry-Smith.
Secret passage to Studio 4 which it seems once formed half of this same pub.
Television in bar.
Plastic carnations.
Warning to Ladies - don't put a penny in - its jammed.

( Cock Tavern, Crown Road, known as Studio 4 since advent of Anglia TV )
