White Elm on the 1837 OS map

The White Elm was a pub that mainly operated in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was advertised by John Roper in 1797 for sale in Bury & Norwich Post. Our photograph shows what seems to have been the pub though we can't be 100% certain.

The pub was located between Spikes Farm and Tollgate.

On the 1885 OS map, it's just shown as "The Elms", so must have closed between those dates.

Although this location is now in Haughley parish, it seems part of Stowmarket was transferred in April 1934.

(detailed information from Neil Langridge - and also Brian Southgate - see their book "Stowmarket, Combs and Stowupland Pubs" published by Polstead Press in 2009)

Landlord entries from censuses probably refer to residents after the pub was closed.
