Currently closed - may reopen?
133a High St, NR32 1HP
grid reference TM 551 936
opened 1898
Recently redecorated with two handpumps on the bar and now under new management. The current building apparently dates from 1888, but is on the site of an older inn.
New management moved on in 2019 and we understand the pub is currently closed again.
The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1904 (interactive map)
