The Wheatsheaf
An inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor pub in a coastal village just south of Hunstanton, that has since been converted to a Tesco Express.
The Lord Kelvin
An old pub with a more modern facade, situated on the eastern fringe of the town centre near the station. I’m not aware of any connection between the famous Victorian scientist and King’s Lynn.
The Ostrich
A roadside pub in a small village in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, latterly renamed the Plume of Feathers. There are now fears that it will be converted to housing. Still open – as the Ostrich – on the StreetView image dating from 2011.
Edit 26/05/2001: It's now reported that this pub is to reopen and revert to its original name, which is good news.
The Iron Duke
A distinctive Art Deco pub bearing Whitbread livery at the north end of the town’s promenade that is now a Grade II listed building. Although the style is very much 1930s, it was in fact built in 1948 as a showpiecepub for local brewery Lacons. The road at the side is Jellicoe Way, suggesting a First World War naval theme, HMS Iron Duke having been Jellicoe’s flagship at Jutland.
The Magpie
A small, foursquare, back-street pub just to the north of the city centre.
The Anchor
A large half-timbered hotel just outside the centre of this East Anglian market town. Very sad to see such a striking historic building in a closed and boarded state.
The Ferry Boat
A distinctive, three-storey, gabled building close to the River Wensum, picked out in blinding sunshine.
The Butcher’s Arms
A long-closed pub on a bypassed road in a remote part of the Fens. Despite its semi-derelict condition, it appears to be occupied.
The Kings Arms
A compact moderne-style 1930s pub in a suburban area, now skulking behind a tall fence.
