Application made by Morgans Brewery, Friday 24th August 1900 for the licence of Mr. William Balls, of the PHILADELPHIA BREWERY, to be removed to a new house to be built on the Aylsham Road. It was said to be a small matter since the new site was about 50 yards from the old one and the new house would only be somewhat larger.
Some time would pass before the project was completed.
