Trade directory look-up KING c1871

[ShannonF]

I am looking for a reference in a directory for the Half Moon Public House in Pakefield, Lowestoft (on London Road South, just below Pakefield St) where my Gtx4 Grandfather was Inn Keeper during the 1871 census. Alternatively, any mention of him in or around this time in a directory. His name was Samuel King.
