The pub is shown on this OS town plan from about 1880 (larger map).
This was one of Ipswich's most ancient inns; one of only 24 listed in a town assessment of 1689.
There was also a Buck's Head pub nearby in Upper Orwell Street. Some references, especially where they just mention the "Buck" may be confused between the two.
The building is now used as a religious drop-in centre after a period as Canes Nightclub.
