Hadleigh Moulders' Arms
South, 52.04388,0.95417
Closed: between 1840 and 1920
George St
grid reference TM 026 425
The building dates from the 15th or 16th century.
We would like to know more about this pub as it may have moved at some time - the census information suggests that it was close to the Kings Head?
On researching my family tree I have discovered that on the 1901 census, the next property on the list next to the King's Head in the High street appears to be the Moulders Arms in George street. It appears that my grt grt grandmother is listed as beer house keeper.
Moulders Arms ( George Street ) and the Kings Head ( High Street) are next door to each other in the 1861 census. They are recorded as being next door to each other although the Moulders Arms are not named. ( William Perry , the occupant , was recorded as being an Iron moulder and beerhouse keeper).Mark Jaffreys
