It was reported 4th April 1840 that George Griggs had been convicted
of stealing ducks, the property of Henry Garner. Sentence was to be
whipped and to spend fourteen days in prison. (Information
possibly applies to Mr. Garner at the Prussian Barque or the Prince
of Wales, see opposite column)
|
The sign depicted a tall, cylindrical, stemmed glass - a Rummer.
Location given in deeds
dated 1660 to 1722 as near Baxter's Bridge.
Mr Morehouse advised 31st October 1723 that he had taken the inn and that
Gentlemen and Others would find good entertainment for Man and Horse. He had
previously been at the
QUEENS HEAD,
Burnham Market.
Address in 1836 as 1 Tower Street.
At St. James End in 1845.
In July 1828, a stable belonging to Mr. Hubbard Smith
was blown over in the storms. No mention of the Rummer Hotel in the
report, published in the Edinburgh Evening Standard,.
31st October 1840 - Henry Garner, for seven years a Letter of Horses,
informed the Nobility, Gentry and all Travellers that he had taken the Inn
and intended to keep Post Horses and would provide every accommodation to
those who would favour him......
Henry Garner advised 6th December 1842 that he had entirely re-built the
Rummer Inn with every convenience and comfort. He thanked all for their
patronage, received over the previous eight years.
<So owner from about 1835?>
In December 1842 and again in January 1843, Mr. Henry
Garner of the Rummer, Tower Street wished it to be known that his
business consisted solely of this house and Stables in Nelson Street and
that in business relative to Horses, Flies, Gigs, Etc., he had no
connection with the person of the same name at the South Gates, (See
PRINCE
OF WALES), nor with any other person in Lynn or elsewhere.
On the morning of Wednesday 3rd December 1845 the driver of the
Peterborough Omnibus lost control at the "Star" corner. The runaway
vehicle came into contact with the window of Mr. Burlingham's grocery
shop causing damage and continued down Broad Street at full speed,
upsetting two carts. As it approached the dangerous turning leading to
Baxter's Plain, fearing contact with the railings of Mr. Tweedle's
residence, the driver sought to creep over the top of the vehicle and
drop down the back, unfortunately he fell off, sustaining a cut face,
but little else. The animals continued to the London road where they
were in collision with a baker's bread cart and stopped. Mr. Garner of
the Rummer Inn mounted the box and returned it to the driver, who after
having his wounds dressed, resumed his journey. The use of such vehicles
in such narrow and dangerous streets was criticised and the inconvenient
practice should be ended. It was commented that it was a wonder that
nobody was seriously hurt .
Offered To Let July 1879 with possession from 29th September 1879.
Apply Eyre and Company, lady Bridge Brewery, Kings Lynn.
Music licence renewed Monday 29th February 1904.
Closed Saturday 1st May 1982 according to a report of
7th May 1982.
Reported as "Recently closed." - 19th August 1983.
(One reference dated 1770 locates
a house called the Rummer at Broad Street - same house?)
