Paid talent would not be employed and the concerts would not be nightly.

It was announced in the Lynn Advertiser of 7th May 1909 that a miniature rifle range opened in the premises Friday 30th April, for use of members of the Kings Own Royal Regiment Norfolk Yeomanry and their friends.

It was confirmed at the Brewster Sessions Monday 12th February 1912 that the house held a music licence. This was renewed at the Sessions held 11th March 1912.


A `stray' German bomb, dropped Friday 12th June 1942 killed 16 occupants and caused severe damage. The house was rebuilt and reopened 6th February 1959. Two survivors of the bombing, a Mr Palmer and a Mr. Thrower attended the ceremony.
