The worse for drink, Mr. Mayes had pulled the whiskers of the police constable as he was being taken into custody. A quantity of hair was produced in court having been recovered, it was claimed, after the assault. However Inspector Sharp swore that Meale had not presented the whiskers to him as evidence, whereas Sergeant Kirk swore that he had. Constables Middleton and Waites gave differing accounts of the language used in the arrest.
The Bench agreed that constable Meales had acted with great forbearance and they strongly recommended him for promotion.

On Tuesday 23rd August 1870 John Mayes applied to the magistrates for a full licence. It was peremptorily refused since at some time previous the applicant had brutally assaulted a policeman and it was a wonder he had not been killed.

Full licence transferred from the RAILWAY STORES 1st April 1959.

Described as one of Brent Walkers newly acquired pubs in September 1988 when the new licensee, Carolyn Williams had recently become licensee. Then 22 years old she was thought to be the youngest licensee in Norwich and one of the youngest in England.

CLOSED 1994
