The pub's address was taken from the 1909 rates records. It has been demolished and was replaced by the Co-Op (now Beale's department store).
A Smith, in his paper "Inns of Beccles in 1929" (kindly supplied by Daryl Ling) gives us 1910 as the pub's closure date.
It was called the Bell in 1855, 1865 & 1891.
