old OS map

Some sources suggest this commercial inn and posting house was in the building at the corner of Angel Hill and Chequer Square (with frontage to the square), however the 1885 OS town plan makes it clear that it was actually slightly to the north of this building, with frontage to Angel Hill.

In the late 18th and early 19th century this was a notable family coaching inn and posting house including the "New Accommodation Light Pair Horse Coach" which in 1823 set out from here daily at 8am and guaranteed to get to Norwich in 6 hours.

The inn has also been listed at 36 Churchgate Street.
