1904


On Monday 5th February 1906 the renewal of licence was deferred to the adjourned Sessions. The licensee was questioned as to if he had observed the drunken condition of a man he had served on 24th January. The reply was negative.
The Chairman said that the influx of people on Wednesday market day perhaps warranted the excessive number of licensed houses in Reepham and Hackford, but if the enormous increase in cases of drunkenness continued, then the magistrates would doubtless recommend a reduction of such houses.

At the adjourned Sessions, Monday 26th February 1906, the representative of the tenant said that he was sorry for the past conduct and promised that it would not reoccur. With a warning to the tenant to be more careful in the future, the licence was renewed.

Reported as a beerhouse, owned by Mrs Robert George and run by licensee Arthur E Palmer. Apart from Wednesday market days, trade was very small. There was accommodation for 60 horses, 30 of which were under cover. There was room for 60 carts.

At the meeting of the Norfolk Licensing Committee, held Wednesday 15th December 1909, it was reported that trade had been proved at 57 barrels per year. The claim of £450 compensation was reduced to £386 10s by the committee and accepted. 10% to go to the tenant, Mr. Palmer.
