Geocache Description:

Like many other towns and cities, Norwich has long had large numbers of public houses. In the 1880s there were over 450 pubs within Norwich’s city walls. Many would have been tiny alehouses occupying little more than the downstairs room of a house. Since this time a combination of legislation, war time raids and changes in culture have led to many closing. Although many have gone, they have not been forgotten and still contribute to the City’s folklore.

Spirits

Urban cache located in Norwich, highlighting what used to be the Galley Hill pub.
Opened in November 1929.
The pub name is reputed to refer to sometime local landowners, the Galley family. This would nullify the idea that gallows were ever erected on the site.
Closed in 2005. Now a beauty salon.

Man on the Moon

Did you drink here?

For anyone interested, feel free to expand the series to other lost pubs you may have known elsewhere in Norwich or beyond. Just match the cache title "Spirits of Pubs Past - (Pub name)" and you're away.

Cheers!
