A long established inn, these premises were listed in the 1844 White's Suffolk Trades Directory with carriers operating from the inn to Bucklesham. By late 1870s it had become rather run-down.

It was eventually demolished to make way for the municipal Fore Street Baths which opened in 1906. The baths are still in regular public use.

This was reputedly once a popular venue for Cistercian monks and one of the refreshment stops for perambulation processions - notably by St Clements parishioners at Rogation-tide.

A report in the Ipswich Journal, June 19th & 26th 1725***, makes reference to George Culliford selling wine by the Gallon at the sign of the Angel on the Key at Ipswich
