Burstall Cottage (shown in the 1882 OS map below) is roughly where the most southerly part of the Grange stood. The picture in our gallery was taken from south-east of the building, whose long axis ran north-south.
Originally only licensed to serve alcohol to residents and diners, the Grange only got a full publican's license on February 12th 1973.
The Gramge was burned down and rebuilt several times. It was used at one time (possibly in the 1960s) as a hotel for USAF personnel from Bentwaters. It was demolished some time after 1969 and replaced by a small estate of "luxury" houses.
It appeared on the 1969 OS map as the Burstall Hotel.

Historical interest
We arrived in England in December of 1968 and were placed in the Burstal Hotel until my parents rented a house in Felixstowe in the spring of '69.Dad was stationed at RAF Woodbridge. RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge were twin bases, with RAF Woodbridge being the operations base and RAF Bentwaters the "crash" base. Most of the amenities for the families were on Bentwaters, but Woodbridge hosted the Junior High School.from Frederick Reinders Spokane WA, USA
