c1984 The original house was entered either via a passage leading from Gentlemans Walk or from an entrance off the side of the Royal Arcade. A third access from White Lion Street was added c1896. In 1901 the Norfolk Chronicle reported that at the Licensing Sessions of 27th August 1901 George Pick had applied for an extension to the 6 day, 10 o'clock pm closing licence in order to be on the same footing as his competitors. Objections to the entrances, especially the one from Gentlemans Walk were then raised. The reverend G. Asker, (owner) and Mr. Mase, (occupier), of 28 and 29, The Walk, opposed the use of the passage by Mr. Pick. (Property used for the sale of antiques). Eventually it was the White Lion Street entrance that was agreed to be blocked, but an extension to 11 o'clock was refused. The same application for an extension to 11 o'clock
was refused on Tuesday 10th March 1903 when Mr. Thomas Arthur Mase was the
only one opposed. A 6 day licence was still held in the 1980's.

The "White" beer guide
of 1977 records:- A Bass Charrington house. Bass on handpump. Best Bitter BB on handpump. Pleasant city centre local. Ideal for the racing man because there are two betting shops within spitting distance. The upstairs toilets are definitely not for the geriatric or the over imbibed, but may be of interest to the keep fit fanatics. |
