		February 1812.
 
 On Tuesday 1st June 1824, two men from Norwich, Fenn and Campling, 
		fought a `pitched battle', near the Dove. It was thought that about 
		3,000 spectators witnessed the 76 rounds which terminated in favour of 
		Fenn. Campling had exhibited little science, falling after every first 
		blow.
 
 Shown on Bryant's 1826 map.

		to appear at the Court House, Norwich on 23rd July 1832, the Court for

		be Sold at the Dove, on Thursday 20th September 1832, since he was changing his 
		residence.

		death of his wife was announced.)

		and Hay & Corn Dealer, then of Golden Dog Lane, Norwich, unemployed and 
		then lodging near the New Church at St. Clement, attended the Norwich 
		Court, 15th March 1847 as an Insolvent Debtor.
 
 Low beer sales were reported in early 1900's 1940's - William T. Machin was presented an engraved mug by American service
    personnel, thanking him for his service during WWII.
 Steward & Patteson report, prepared for Watney Mann (Loddon & Clavering area) in
    May 1969, recommended IMMEDIATE closure.
