  In 1961 the BYSTANDERS FILM CLUB commenced a survey of Norwich public houses.
Unfortunately, by 1968 the challenge remained unfinished and Watney Mann had taken over the local breweries....Toilet facilities (Conveniences) were rated on cleanliness and general standard.
This house was rated as follows:-		  
 
Bullards - ex Morgans No Draught Cider
Darts Conveniences 2 (5 being the best)
  Canned Music
Goldwell Road, late Kings Road - What late King? Ethelred the Unready?
Darts in little cupboard.
Nice flats opposite, courtesy Percival <Norwich Planning dept.>
No Atmosphere.
