Late 17thC Inn.

In the early 1900's facilities were provided for `commuters' to stable their horses, allowing them to continue their journey into Norwich by tram.

The Eastern Daily Press of May 16 1877 reported :-
NORWICH GUILDHALL

Charles HIGH, landlord of the Red Lion, Eaton, was summoned for keeping his house open during unlawful hours on Sunday last. Mr H B MILLER ( Town Clerk) supported the information; Mr LINAY defended. Police-constable HUNT, on going to the house of defendant at fifty minutes past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, saw four men standing against the back door, and the land-lady at the bar filling a pint mug with beer, which was afterwards taken to the men standing at the door, and who partook of it. Mr Linay having been heard in mitigation, defendant was fined 2s 6d and 17s 6d costs.

James RANDALL of Cringleford, Norfolk, was summoned for being on the premises of the Red Lion at the above unlawful time. As defendant showed that he was there for a lawful purpose, and it was not proved that he partook of beer, the case was dismissed.






House number 538, out of a total of 557, as given in the 1845 Norwich Magistrates list.
