Address as Tinkler's Lane in 1892 & 1908.

Also given at 1, Greyhound Opening, Duplicate Row.

For Sale by Auction Thursday 26th May 1859.
Fronting the private road running into Tinkler's Lane, Heigham.
Under lease to Messrs. Youngs, Crawshay and Youngs at the yearly rental of £20.
20 Cottages also included in the sale.

The Police objected to licence renewal at the 9th February 1905 Sessions on the grounds that the back door opened into an enclosed courtyard and the house had `inadequate accommodation'. The house was apparently a private cottage before being converted into licensed premises and there were only two small rooms for public use. The back yard  was said to be impossible for the Police to supervise after hours and on Sunday mornings.
The owners of the house, Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs, said that they would do everything reasonably possible to comply to the requirements of the Chief Constable since the house was extremely valuable, doing a large trade.
A second report of the proceedings informed that the property consisted of three public rooms and a living room at the back. It was proposed to make a bar and tap room in front, replacing the tap room and parlour, leaving the living room behind. This would allow easy supervision of the whole house. A door would be blocked up and a cottage be cut quite open, allowing an open cart road through, so that the police would have full access to the yard.
With the Chief Constable saying that such improvements would allow his objections to be removed.
Hearing that the nearest licensed house was 145 yards away, the licence was renewed.

House damaged by enemy action 27/29th April 1942 and remained closed until 19th April 1945.

Finally closed 2nd November 1973 and demolished to allow road improvements.
