Given as the COACH & HORSES 1871.

On Thursday, 26th July 1888, the Wagon and Horses, beerhouse, was Sold by Auction, at the Crown hotel, to Mr. Loynes, for £132.

The Norfolk Chronicle of 10th February 1906 reported that at the sessions Monday 5th February the licence had been referred to Walsingham Licensing Justices for Compensation. Mr. Charles Pearce, owner of the brewery, said that the house sold about a barrel and a half a week and half a gallon of spirits. It was the only Cooper Brown house within 14 miles. All necessary works that the magistrates may require, including putting gates on the yard entrance, would be instigated in order that the trade could continue.
The Chairman said that the justices had decided that six houses must be closed in Wells and this was one of them.
It was pointed out that the previous year the owner had promised, that if the licence was renewed, the back yard would be enclosed and sanitary arrangements improved. This had not yet been done, although it was advised that such an order to do the work had been given.

Licence granted at the sessions held Thursday 21st June 1906 upon it being confirmed that this was the only Cooper-Brown house in the town, indeed the area.
It was said that the house catered for travellers rather than the people of Wells.

Monday 4th February 1907 - It was heard that the owner had not carried out improvements to the sanitary arrangements, as had been promised the previous year, however the order to carry out the work had recently been given.

The licence was again under consideration at the 7th March 1910 sessions.

Licence refused 20th June 1910

Notice and Claim Form for Compensation under the Licensing Act 1904 published in the Lynn Advertiser of 2nd September 1910.

In February 1911, a provisional licence was requested in order to allow the continuation of trading until compensation was paid.

At the Brewster Sessions Monday 4th February 1912 it was confirmed that the house had not closed until 23rd December 1911.
