  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  
Darts Conveniences ?
Parking  
Bowling green at back.
Case full of cups.
Bar enclosed by a sort of barrage of bottles.
Oddly shaped room built around television.
Interesting painting of Pull's Ferry and small coloured sketch of old Fishmarket with St. Peter Mancroft behind.
General effect - cluttered.
Tree shaded car park.
Architecturally sound building which doesn't see as much trade as the area could provide.
