Historical interest
An old-established inn, the Black Horse at Syleham, will soon be no more. At Hoxne court yesterday, when a protection order in respect of the White Horse inn (also at Syleham) was granted to Eric Sparrow from Wm Collins, the district manager for Messrs Steward & Patteson. Mr S H Beales said his firm had bought the White Horse from Messrs Lacon. They intended moving Sparrow, who was the licensee of the Black Horse, into the house within the next week or so. They would then close down the Black Horse and surrender the license.Evening Star, October 6th 1955**
