      It was reported that on 13th January 1850, 17 year old Mary Ann 
			Cooper accompanied another young lady, Sarah Baker, to the King of 
			Prussia. After a short stay they went to PALMER'S TOM AND JERRY 
			SHOP, before returning to the King of Prussia. It seems to have been 
			this house. (Cooper claimed to have been later assaulted by 25 year 
			old Anthony Skipper, but the evidence of Cooper, two persons who 
			heard the accused boasting of his actions and the evidence of a 
			policeman was insufficient to achieve a guilty verdict.)

			or milk)

 A new licence was granted to beerhouse keeper, F. Curl on Monday, 28th 
	  August 1865. Structural alterations were confirmed to the
      Licensed Property Valuer in a letter dated 22nd September 1964. The works
      had been completed 28th August 1964.In a letter dated 25th September 1964, Mr J. S. Sparks wrote on behalf
      of Bullard & Sons Ltd  to the
      Licensed Property Valuer, who was based in
      Cambridge. The Brewery provisionally accepted the revised rating
      assessment of £250 p.a. for the house, following the closure of the
      nearby `Union Jack', but the increase was considered to be excessive. A
      review in 12 months' time was requested.
