opposite the WOODMAN.

The GEORGE 1865.


Building of new premises in School Lane, Sprowston commenced 1938.
Completion of building 1939 said to have increased the value of the house by £2470.

Full licence granted 05.02.1938
New house occupied by January 1939

The (spirit) licence of the ADAM & EVE, Carleton Rode was removed 10.05.1938 and the Beerhouse licence ( of the old house) was surrendered without compensation. In return a full licence had already been granted for the new house.

The reference above to Bullards stems from the fact that in 1984 many Bullards artifacts were in evidence, including an ironwork silhouette depicting the `new style' logo, which was then mounted near the entrance.
