NED PAINTER
& pugilist |
1820 |

1840 - 1845 |

The Norfolk Chronicle of 1st January 1820 advised that
Ned Painter had taken the Sun & Anchor, Lobster Lane.
As well as selling the best Ales, London Porter, Spirits, Wine etc., he would be giving
private lessons in sparring, in the most scientific style.
Bolingbroke, in Norfolk Archaeology, places the Sun & Anchor to the
South of St. Crouch churchyard, roughly in the position of the later Post Office Tavern.
It is likely that the original Sun & Anchor was demolished in the late 1820's when
Exchange Street was created ( by c1832 )
The Post Office Tavern is listed in 1845 as well as the Sun & Anchor, which is given
in Post Office Street ( Lower part of Exchange Street )
Rumours that the Ironmongers Arms was previously the Sun & Anchor
have not been substantiated.
