The Green Man apparently stood adjacent to the Ram Inn.
The closure date was recorded in the Borough Police licensed premises register 1903-1923.
These premises were listed in the 1844 White's Suffolk Trades Directory with carriers operating from the inn to Thwaite.
It's also been listed at Salt House Street.
This is possibly this unidentified pub, based on street numbering and census location.
