This was a conversion from the original Station master's house, carried out during the early 1990s. The pub lasted for only a couple of years. The building was a part of the original station complex which was designed by Sancton Wood - architect and surveyor (1816-1866).
Opened as a terminus from Ipswich in November 1847; until Newmarket was completed in 1849. It was owned by Eastern Union Railway EUR - then GER.
Not to be confused with the Railway Hotel (formerly the Linden Tree).
