Stradbroke Golden Lion
also traded as Red Lion, Lion beer house
South West, 52.31901,1.27237
Closed: 1913?
Queen St
grid reference TM 231 740
NOTE : There is an earlier inn called the White Lion - we do not yet know if the two pubs are connected.
Having examined all available Hoxne licensing records (1913-1968) without finding any reference to this pub, we conclude it must have closed before 1913.
There is an un-named beerhouse run by Sarah Voller, whose license expired in 1913. This was probably the one, as the 1910 Rate book lists Alice Voller as the licensee.
In 1861 the Golden Lion was listed at Queens Head Street.

The case against William Shulver, of Stradbroke, a beer house keeper, was dismissed on a technicality. He was charged with opening his house at 4.40pm on a Sunday for the sale of beer. He claimed he had acted in ignorance of the law, but as there was but one justice present the case could not proceed and he left with a caution. Ipswich Journal, Aug 1870**
