The licence registers state that the house was referred to Compensation 20.06.1928 and the
licence did not expire until 31.12.1938.

Old Licensee leaves.
In customary and expressive phrase, another landmark in Fakenham is
removed by the severance of Mr Theodore M. Barnes from Fakenham, after
being licensee of the `Sun Inn', Norwich Street for about 29 years. He is
a native of Fakenham, and is the oldest licensee in town, in point of
length of service. He and his wife have gone to reside at Reading, to join
other members of their family and they removed on Wednesday, this week. He
has always been respected and conducted his business beyond reproach.
