Beccles Suffolk Hotel
Beccles Suffolk Hotel
also traded as Suffolk Arms
North East, 52.45789,1.56461
Closed: unknown, but certainly between 1965 and 1977
4 Station Rd
grid reference TM 422 904
The building was rebuilt about 1854; it isn't clear if it was open as a pub in the old building, though the oldest record found so far was in that year.
In the East Suffolk Gazette on 29 Aug 1911 the Suffolk Hotel was reported for sale.
Records seem to show the pub still open at least as late as 1965. Planning permission to convert the premises from offices to a flower shop was approved in 1977, so we can be sure the pub had closed by then.
