The Lynn Advertiser of 3rd June 1910 reported that Acting P.s Palmer had
seen a light in the bar at 11:00pm on the 16th May. Entering through the
side door he discovered two men named Butler and Holman and some freshly
drawn beer on the table. Landlord Skipper was coming with mineral water. The
licensee asked the policeman to have some drink and say nothing. Butler had
been playing music during the evening and Holman only had mineral water.
Destroyed by fire March 1928
Rebuilt by S&P

The seat was said to have been used for the game of ``Gnurdling'',
it was destroyed in the fire of 1928 |
