Stafford Arms : 35 Heigham Road

Research :
Richard Ketteringham was landlord from June 1958
and appears to have served until closure.

For many years after, it was used as a saddlers' shop.

Alexandra Tavern : 16 Stafford Street

Research :
Alexandra became the wife of King Edward VII
in 1863, hence Princess of Wales. She was the
eldest daughter of King Christian XI of Denmark.

Charles Aldham Lingley was landlord from June 1909.
Called away to WWI, his place was taken - first -
by wife Agnes (November 1916 to April 1917);
then by Alfred Edward Cole.

Charles resumed in April 1919 and lasted until
10th May 1938.
He deserves to be recognised for 29 years service.

In the Bystanders' Society survey of 1961 it was
noted that the pub still had a "bottle & jug" outlet.

Belle Vue : 46 St. Philip's Road

Research :
Licence transferred from Cock & Pie,
Quayside 10.10.1878

Denmark Arms : 43 Sandringham Road
Research :

The name of the pub, and the original name of the road,
do seem rather too remote from the Prince of Denmark,
who was the husband of Queen Anne.

Licence transferred from the Dove, Muspole Street 1882

In 1890 the landlord was also listed
as a builder and contractor.
He was the original landlord, George Stephen Tinkler.

Tinkler was in place for an extraordinarily long time :
viz. until March 1933.

 
The dynasty continued a few years longer, under
George Godfrey Tinkler, until May 1937.

CAMRA members, who enjoyed Courage
Director's dispensed by gravity, and
free hot peas on some Wednesday evenings
(circa 1975), were perplexed about the inn-sign.

This showed 3 lions passant; with 3 rows of 4 hearts,
interspersed. However, the landlord could not
explain why one of the hearts in the bottom row
had fallen to the base of the shield.
