From 1888, when George Bates took over the license, the OLD WHITE FRIAR was renamed to the OLD FRIAR INN. By 1903 the area was considered to be congested, so in March that year it was proposed to surrender the license in order that an off-beerhouse license could be granted to premises at 40 Elly's Road, and by April 1903 the pub had closed.
