Both William Moore and T. J. Rose were granted new full licences for houses in Opie Street, at the Annual Licensing Session, Tuesday 26th August 1864.
The house of Thomas Rose was said to be on the corner and so appears to be this house. It was commented that the magistrates must have overlooked that there were only two properties existing in the thoroughfare.

Although the houses are not named in the report, Mr. Moore appears to have been at the OPIE HOUSE.

Stood on the NW corner of Castle Meadow and Opie Street.

Given as the QUEEN Public-house 14th May 1866 when Mr. Colls was in dispute with an upholsterer who had provided blinds and a table, but had not been paid.
At the hearing it was heard that Colls had passed on the licence to Henry Price without permission.
As for the unpaid bill, the upholsterer, Mr Abel, was told he would have to recover the debt by other means that the magistrates.

On Friday 18th July 1866 Mr Colls (Now a bill broker of St. Giles) was again before the magistrates charging Henry Price of wilful and corrupt perjury.
Summons dismissed since no foundation could be determined in the evidence provided.

An application was made Saturday 22nd August 1891, by Anne Rose Brown, for a music and singing licence. Application refused since a previous occupant of the house had held concerts and caused great nuisance.

The Norfolk Chronicle of 24th August 1895 reported that the licence was renewed in spite of the house being closed for 9 months previously and objection from occupants of local properties.
