Historical interest
Listed in 1888 at 6 Commercial Rd.
The 1891 census lists licensed victuallers at both 5 and 6 Commercial Rd. It's not clear if these were two separate pubs, both have been included here.
In 1937 the pub is listed in Kelly's Directory as one of 220 Suffolk pubs that were retailing beer that they were brewing.
