Ipswich Market Tavern
also traded as Market Hotel

closed 17th December 1956
91 Princes St
grid reference TM 159 442
The Market Tavern stood on the corner of Chalon Street (on the Town centre side of the junction).
It was previously listed at 7 Station Road.
The pub is named as the Marsh Tavern in the 1871 census, but this may be a mistake as it was next the the Old Marsh Tavern at 9 Station Road.
It closed in 1956 and the license was transferred to the newly-opened Selkirk. It has since been demolished and the area extensively redeveloped.
