Important Covid information

Due to the latest lockdown regulations, pubs can no longer sell alcohol for takeaway or click & collect. Delivery is still permitted, as is the sale of takeaway food. We will update all entries on this site over the next few days to take account of the new situation.

Pubs providing takeaways continue to be listed on this page.

Melton Station Hotel

Melton Station Hotel

closed 20th April 1953

opened late-1850s

Wilford Bridge Rd

grid reference TM 287 504

In more recent years, the building was heavily remodelled, but still had recognisable features from old photographs. It was all-but completely demolished in May 2012.

The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Station Hotel's license was issued in 1862. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable, as it was apparently built in the late 1850s.

It closed in 1943, when its license was transferred to the Woodbridge Bay Horse.

The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
