The Norwich Pub Survey of 1986, compiled by the Norwich Society, in association with Norwich City Council, assessed the house:-

Approx date of building	Listed	Quality		Pre-war fittings surviving
		External	Internal
1886	No	6	6	Yes
Etched glass to windows saying `Bar', `Retail' and `S&P'. Separate public bar, snug, lounge and club room. Original bar fittings in dark wood. Ornate corner pieces. Old cornices. Unusual circular tables in bar (Edwardian?) Friendly, traditional, local pub. When owned by Steward & Patteson it had a beautifully painted sign showing Stanley greeting Dr. Livingstone in the jungle. This was replaced (in typical fashion) by Watneys when they took over in the 1960's.
