As far as I am aware the premises only ever held a beer license and
closed either in the 1950s or just before.
It is now (2021) known as Black Lion House.

Thought you might be interested in this Victorian quart judge. We brought it with us
to New Zealand in 2002, but ever since I can remember my mother used it
as a flower vase.
I like it.
Best,
Jim Kennard.

From an email received, 17 November 2021. Good day,
I recently bought a lot of silver at auction and this was one of the
items. I googled it and see where it’s from.
This made its way to the isolated arid Karoo of the Northern Cape,
South Africa.
Take care. Pieter Hoffman.
