(information from Rod Cross)

We had thought that the Marsh Tavern had replaced the old Marsh Tavern but the following article suggests that they may have both traded near here at the same time for at least a while?
Mayhew (landlord of the Marsh Tavern and cab proprietor) was charged with receiving stolen horse feed from a Samuel Mealing. Mealing was seen frequently carrying a sack into Mayhew's public house by Mr Pooley (landlord of the Old Marsh Tavern) and Isaac Norman (landlord of the Three Swans). Mayhew was found guilty and sentenced to 12 months hard labour.Ipswich Journal, August 5th 1871** (when Thomas Mayhew was the landlord)

In 1865 the pub was listed at New Station Road.
