Beccles Crown & Anchor
Closed post-1985
7 Ballygate
grid reference TM 420 903
The Crown & Anchor was built during the 16th century. The pub appears on OS maps at least as late as 1985, so must have closed since then.
It may earlier have been the Black Swan.
It's shown (though not named) on this OS town plan of 1884.
