1987

It was heard at the Licensing Session, Thursday 6th March 1930 that Mrs. Brumfitt had purchased the Central Hotel about 10 years previously and now sought to obtain an excise licence for the benefit of her guests. There would be no bar trade. The Reverend Lowry, the ministers of the town and two Anglican clergymen objected to the licence.
Application refused.

  The Thetford Fire Brigade Dinner was held here for many years.
At the January 1929 gathering it was said that the one thing the Brigade lacked was a motor-engine.

By 1936 the horse-drawn engine had been replaced with a motor-engine and new equipment included a telescopic ladder and 850 feet of hose. The tender had been fitted with solid tyres.

On the evening of 14th January 1937.
Following the meal and the usual toasts, songs were sung, with Mrs. Greenough at the piano. Mr. Bean gave a bone solo.

At the 1938 dinner it was said that the Brigade was at last in sight of a new motor fire engine
