Stowmarket White Elm
Stowmarket White Elm
South West, 52.20285,0.98284
Closed: between 1837 and 1885
Bury Rd
grid reference TM 039 602
It's shown at this location 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.
