Also, Mr Richard STOWE, Boilermaker's Arms, Duke Street, Ipswich, applied to open at 5am, instead of 6am stating that the Nightingale (another local) was open at this time and that his customers did not care to go in there and wished him to open early. The object, principally, was for the sale of coffee: request granted.Ipswich Journal, August 30th 1884**
