Pub history
The legendary life-saver William Adams was born in Gorleston in 1864. Known in the local press as the ‘Hero of Gorleston’, he is credited with saving 140 people from drowning, mainly during his time as a Gorleston Beach bathing hut attendant. Adams was also a swimming instructor, coaching some of the leading swimmers of his day. He died in 1913 and is buried in Gorleston Old Cemetery.
