spirits of pubs past - star and garter
On the corner of row 57 (sarah martens row) stands the Star and Garter, the original building long gone but rebuilt after the owner Samuel Artis died in 1748 and again in 1878 with the first listing of it holding some form of licence being 19/02/1803 where Mr sanders, the proprietor advertised to be able to deliver his wares from this premisis to "all places in yorkshire and lancashire - acts of god, the kings enemies, fire and all and every other dangers or accidents of the seas, rivers and navigation of whatever nature forever EXCEPTED".
,
A thriving pub throughout the 1900's for seamen of the fishing industry and in later years the boomimg north sea oil and gas industry.
Many a good memory i have of this place until sadly it closed its doors in 2011 and closed they remain.
Now scheduled to be absorbed by near by estate agents as offices.
A series originating in norwich. anyone interested in expanding the series just match the title "spirits of pubs past - (pub name). cheers!
