4. :  The Identifier

In the hope that readers may have information of their own, which could improve the lists, a unique Identity Code is shown for each pub : in the form of a number from 1 to 9999. Please quote it in any e-mail, as many pubs share the same name.                   Thank you.

5. :  Start & End Dates  (Column 3)

• In black are reasonably definite; bearing in mind that
  very many pubs are essentially older than the buildings
  they occupy. Some even manage the contrary feat !.
   
• In green refer to available   Trades Directories,
  Magistrates' Records, Census Returns etc.
    Hence a pub may have existed for some years
before its first entry in such lists;
    and/or may have continued for some years
after its final appearance there.
Indeed, Directory entries often still appear
long after the pub has closed.
 
• In red are pubs closed under the Compensation Act 1904.
   
• Shown as 'Arderon' (see his List) are in the range 1745 to 1760.
   
• Closure dates marked '(dropped)' can imply actual closure up to
  12 months earlier; i.e. licence not taken up at next Renewal Date.

5a. :  World War II

Indicates destruction or severe damage in World War II. These losses were nearly all sustained in April 1942.

6. :  The Classic Tie  (Column 2)

This refers to the era when Norwich had four major
breweries, who owned or leased most of the pub buildings.

1914 has been chosen as the reference year - see the 1914 List.
Where the pub had closed by 1914, its last brewery tie
- where known - is shown.

7. :  Name Changes  (Column 1)

The chosen main name normally applies from the outset.
A different original name is marked thus : (orig.)

Dates of Changes


• A definite date preceding a name - no "by" prefix -
          indicates a real change at that point in time.
• A "by" date is no less real, but is uncertain as to the exact
          year of change : which may well be earlier than shown.
• Date in brackets after a name indicates a "one-off" record,
          which may be capricious or even erroneous.
• Name without a date is probably an alternative i.e. a nick-name.
