The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
A local amateur football team called Ipswich Association Football Club first played at Brook Hall, Broomfield (opposite the pub) from Oct 1878 onwards. For some time they used a room in the pub for changing. Ten years later they changed their name to Ipswich Town and consequently moved to Portman Road when they merged with a rugby club and eventually took over the whole site.
Died on the 1st at the Inkerman Inn, Norwich Road, aged 61, Joseph Rutter.
In the early 20th century, the nearby Apollo Gardens (now built upon) were a popular site for summer entertainments when a large marquee would be erected and summer theatre was performed…
