At the Norwich Licensing Session held Friday 24th August 1900 it was heard that the house had been rebuilt some three feet back from its original position and had been renamed the ARCADE STORES. The frontage had been altered and there was nothing to indicate that it was the old White Rose.
The magistrates had been presented with plans on transfer day and they were taken as final, they now had no proof that the plans were ever complied with. Mr. Wild, who appeared for Messrs. Bullard & Sons, assured the Bench that the plans had been adhered to and that the new house covered a smaller area than the old one. It was confirmed that only the odd wall of the old house remained and that the site slightly overlapped that of the former ROYAL HOTEL TAP.
