License renewed Friday 16th September 1949 and an application was made by Messer's. Lacon & Co. to have a clubroom and headquarters for the Harleston and District British Legion in a building at the rear of the main premises. There would be a bar for the convenience of Legion members, however the general public could not be excluded. The application was perhaps assisted by the Clerk to the Magistrates who was also chairman of the Legion Branch.
