Note
The Bird Bolt Inn, later known as the Bird Bolt Temperance Hotel, was originally located at the corner of Downing and St Andrew's Streets.
The name Bird Bolt was apparently in use from 1630 although the name change does not appear in the College records until five years later. Previously, from approximately 1580, the name Le Antelope had been used. From 1638, College leases and plans refer to the building and its attached premises as the Bird Bolt Inn. The original building was torn down in the later 19th century to make way for the Norwich Union Building.
Following the demolition of the original inn, the new landlord move the hotel to 41 Regent St. and re-branded it as a temperance hotel. From 1910 it was run by Mr J.W. Hall and his family as the Bird Bolt Family and Commercial Temperance Hotel.
