History of 105 - 107 Norfolk Street
1869
CIP reported that Mr Scales had applied for a license for George Dant for a new indoor beerhouse at the corner of Norfolk Street and Gwydir Street. Two houses had been converted into one and Dant was about to occupy one of them. Rent was to be £12. However, as the rent was under £15 the license was refused.
