An article in the Eastern Daily Press 3rd March 1953
refers to the Licensing sessions at Dereham when Morgan's Brewery Co applied for the
provisional removal of the licence at the Chequers to premises on the Norwich Road,
Fransham (now the Canary & Linnet) . The application was opposed by Steward and
Patterson and Fransham Parish Council but granted on certain conditions pertaining to the
installation of toilets!
The article goes on to discuss the conversion of the house ( local rumour places an
undertakers on this site) and an adjacent building into pub + cafe/clubroom. A further article in the EDP dated 30th June 1979 refers to the
closure of the Canary & Linnet temporarily until the sanitation could be improved: the
landlord is quoted as Mr George Meehan
Thanks to Bob Jenkins for the update!
