The pub is shown (though not named) on this old OS map from 1883 (interactive map).
A planning application lodged in November 1975 states:
Change of use from Public House (disused) to use as office and storage of toys.
The Hawk (Formerly Inn) Bridge Street Halesworth Suffolk.
So we can be confident it closed some time before this date.
