Research :

Norfolk Wherry : Castle Meadow

Research :

Old Post Office : Castle Street

Research :
The pub was on the corner of Old Post Office Court.
It was therefore a near neighbour of the
Walnut Tree Shades and the Club House.

King's Head : 8 Castle Street

Old Restaurant : 3 London Street
Research :

This short-lived enterprise seems to have been
started by Messrs. Jarrold.

In 1873 it was taken over by another well-known
shop owner, Wm. Howlett of Howlett & Son,
Market Place, who sold pianos on the opposite
corner of London Street from Jarrold's shop.

Jarrold's had recruited Mary Ann Fountain to be
licensee by 1867, who was probably the same person
who had run the Haytrussers' Arms
in King Street (from 1856 until its closure in 1861).

  She was replaced by George Frost in August 1875.

This new restaurant with its improbable name
(unless it had always been teetotal) soon gave up
its licence to the newly-built York Tavern.

In addition to the involvement of Jarrold and Howlett,
we have a record that Mary Ann was running
"refreshment rooms" nearby in 1869.
So we may well conclude that the address
was No. 3 London Street.

26th August 1878 : licence finally transferred
to the York Tavern, Leicester Street.

Hog in Armour : London Street

Research :
The pub was mentioned again in 1820; in some context or other.
However there were no further entries in the Trades Directories.

Horse & Groom : Castle Street

Research :
St. Martin's brewery offered the pub for sale,
by auction, in October 1794 and July 1797.
However, the property seems to have remained
with George Morse.

The landlord in 1806 was described as a Publican
(i.e. full-timer); which was fairly unusual, and
denotes a rather important house.

The pub is believed to have been located between
Davey Place and Old Post Office Court, but on
the opposite (East) side of Castle Street.
