Coach & Horses, Great Yarmouth

Built c.1850 it has a glazed brick frontage from the early 20th century. The pub was bombed during WWII and the top storey replaced in 1956-8. The star here is the small room on the rear left with its fielded panelled walls to picture frame height (sadly painted over in recent years), a hatch for service and a bar back with small glass pieces that probably dates from 1958. The L-shaped public bar is a result of the removal of the off-sales shop on the front left into the bar (date unknown). The door is still visible on the exterior; note the markings on the floor of the hockey when the dart board was on the wall between the bar and the off-sales. The bar counter is old ( with front panels added some 30 years ago), and the bar back, dado panelling and the fixed seating are all over 50 years old. A hole was cut in the wall between the lounge and the former off sales to link the rooms when the latter was combined with the public bar. Again, in recent times the woodwork in the public bar has been painted over.
