  In 1961 the BYSTANDERS FILM CLUB commenced a survey of Norwich public houses.

This house was rated as follows:-
 
 
S&P No Draught Cider
Darts Conveniences 3 (5 being the best)
Parking  
Don't try to reach this pub from Millers Lane west, its a long uphill walk from your car!
Nice fire, darts and piano.
Magnificent view to West over Lane's 1-7 of a most picturesque bungalow estate. (Ugh!)
Fine view to East of Blyth School.
Fire-engine type doorbell.
Heraldic pub sign, jungleised "garden".
