Originally the
DOG & DUCK
and then the
WHERRY.
Reported to be a beerhouse in May 1867.
On Saturday 3rd September 1887 Thomas Leek and James Jermy, labourers,
entered the public house at about 5:30 pm. They had not been in the
house long when Mrs. Sarah Jermy entered and threw the baby she was
carrying at her husband. Upon being told by the licensee James
Barker, not to hurt the baby, Mrs. Jermy grabbed a spittoon and
threw it at his head. Whilst being ejected from the house, Mr. Jermy
used very bad language and pulled his whiskers and tore some hairs out.
Both Mr. Jermy and Leek then joined in the assault but were eventually
put out of the house. Mrs Jermy returned and broke a window.
On Wednesday 6th September it was heard that the licensee's wife was
also assaulted by having been struck a violent blow to the face and
having some of her hair pulled out by the roots. James Barker
junior, son of the licensee, who had come to the assistance of his
father, had been knocked down twice. He had been attacked by Leek and a
man named Henry Read.
Leek was fined 12s 6d and costs or 21 days' imprisonment with hard
labour; Read 10s and costs or 14 days' imprisonment with hard labour;
Jermy 10s and costs or similar imprisonment; and Mrs. Jermy 2s 6d and
costs.
Notice of intent to surrender given 6th March 1903.
Last licence granted 2nd February 1904.
Licence given up for the
THREE TUNS, Gorleston, c1905.
At auction at the Star Hotel on Wednesday 6th July 1904 the house was
described as a Freehold House and Shop, late the Lord Collingwood, at
the junction of the North Quay and Laughing Image Corner.
Purchased by Mr. Draper for £120.
