A Dwelling House, near the Three Horse Shoes, was offered for Sale by Auction Tuesday 25th January 1816.


In the 1828 sale of the Harleston Brewery properties, the Auctioneer gave location as Redenhall with Harleston.

Robert Rayner was declared bankrupt in the London Gazette of 27th February 1863.
(Robert Rayner junior, carpenter, appeared before the magistrates April 1863 charged with refusing to support his wife who was `a lunatic in Thorpe Asylum.' He was ordered to pay 5s a week and costs.)

House advertised to let 14th February 1863 with large Yard and Buildings where a lucrative and extensive business in Building and Carpentry wad been operating.

Brewer Charles Clarke of Norwich was owed £3 according to a judgement made April 1866.

Monday July 10th 1866 - Charles Pearce, late landlord of the THREE HORSESHOES was said to owe brewers Richard & Charles Tacon of Eye, £21 13s 6d for beer and spirits supplied, but it was shown that there was a letter offering discount of £7 6s and £4 had been credited for materials and repairs to the property. A total of £10 16s had been claimed for repairs. He was eventually ordered to repay the sum of £8 8s 5d for the goods supplied, at the rate of £2 per month.

Charles Pearce was adjudged bankrupt 6th April 1869.

Charles Pearce was called before the magistrates on Tuesday, 12th July 1870 over a claim from brewers in Stowmarket, for the sum of £3 12s for beer.

A Fully Licensed Public House, offered To Let, April 1873, with Immediate possession.
"Rent and Valuation only about £10"
Apply Messrs. Tacon, Brewery, Eye, Suffolk.

Magistrates positioned the house 106 yards away from the CHERRY TREE and over 400 yards from any other licensed house.
The Colchester Brewery contested possible closure in magistrates court January 1909 citing closure of the EAGLE some 4 years previously as another loss to them.

Licence referred at the Adjourned Licensing meeting held Friday  26th February 1909. Located 106 yards from the Cherry Tree and over 400 yards from any other licensed house. There was no water supply to the house and very little trade was done, the premises occasionally found to be closed before closing time.
In support of the licence renewal it was said that the house had more accommodation than most of the other houses in town. The family of the tenant (Mr. Gowing) had been at the house for 35 years and there had never been any complaints against the house or tenants.
Average trade for the previous four years was 39 barrels a year with only a small trade in spirits.
It would be wrong to take away the sole house in Harleston owned and supplied by the Colchester Brewery Company.

Licence refused at Compensation Authority meetings of 21st and 23rd June 1909. Reported as an alehouse, owned by the Colchester Brewery Co. Ltd. and run by licensee James Ellis.

At the meeting of the Norfolk Licensing Committee, held Wednesday 15th December 1909, it was reported that a claim of £351 14s 4d was claimed by the Colchester Brewery Co. The committee reduced the sum to £308 14s 2d which was accepted. 10% was to go to the tenant, Mr. Ellis.
