Beerhouse 1836.

At the Licensing meeting, Monday, 8th March 1909 it was heard that the house was in a very dilapidated state. There was no living room for the occupants, which included three children. The place was bad for Police supervision since the adjoining baker's shop shared the same back yard. There was stabling for four horses and a shed for two carts. The old skittle alley was used as a wash-house. Landlord Youngman had been at the house since May 1907 and the brewers, Youngs, Crawshay and Youngs were prepared to make the necessary changes. On that basis the licence was renewed.
Trade for the previous year was reported as 122 barrels, 1,174 dozen bottles of beer and 129 gallons of spirits.

It was mentioned at the Holt Brewster Sessions, Monday 7th February 1910, that when Sergeant Hagger visited the premises on 4th February, alterations, submitted to the Bench in July 1909, were not quite complete.
