Full Description
An 'ancient' building, which had a mantelpiece panel painting of a castle, perhaps Middleton Towers.
Information from (S1).
E. Rose (NAU).
(S2) reports that this public house was known as The Goat from 1695, but that prior to that it had been called the Spaud or Spaud Bone from 1600 onwards. By 1741 it was known as the Bell, in 1751 as the Bell and Spade and by 1776 it was back to being known as the Goat. According to (S2) it closed as a public house in 1921, and the building was demolished around 1957, with a medieval stone window from the building being given to King's Lynn Museum.
Old photographs (S3) show a two-storey building, with brick at ground floor level and a rendered first floor, and a plain tiled roof.
