The Victoria can be seen here on the 1885 OS map.
It appears that this pub has been demolished. Although there is a Victoria House in its approximate location, this looks fairly modern and doesn't seem to match what is seen on old maps.
According to A Survey of Suffolk Parish History, the pub closed in 1939.
