A wine licence was granted on Tuesday 23rd August 1887 following
Inspector Basham reporting that there was nothing whatsoever against Mr.
Richmond's establishment.
As the SPORTSMENS ARMS 1938.The Eastern
Evening News of 27.10.1948 reported that licensee Miss Celia Richmond had called `Last
Orders Please' for the final time.
The premises had been acquired by the Gt. Yarmouth Waterworks Co. in 1901 and was leased
to Lacon & Co. The Waterworks Company had applied to the Ministry to build
cottages to house employees, but building restrictions had been imposed preventing the
construction.
The public house was to be converted into 3 dwellings. "The last thing we wanted to do
was to take away one of the amenities of the village" said Mr. H. A. C. Salmon,
Waterworks secretary. "The housing shortage is very acute and we cannot get men unless we
can offer accommodation...... withdrawal of a licence to build new cottages has left us
with no option". |
