The pub's name probably refers to Admiral Vernon; resident of Nacton and victor in the 1739 Battle of Portobello.

These premises were listed in the 1844 White's Directory with carriers then operating from the inn to Woodbridge.

After closure it was used as an antique shop for several years.

Long-demolished.
