The Old White Lion was situated at 112 King Street at the corner of Row 130. This pub closed on 5th July 2010.

It is said to be the oldest surviving domestic building in Great Yarmouth. Pine panelling behind the bar dates from the 16th century.

I worked for Cryril Hyde, as a bar person, he also owned The Fishwharf Public House, this property, is now a Listed Building, it now stands, on it's own, due to The Herring Bridge. It was 1972, when I worked at the Old White Lion, a year after I started, there, he sent me to work at The Fishwharf Public House. I was a bar maid/waitress, the chef was called Alan, after he left the pub, he went onto The Royal Hotel as Head Chef.
