The pub's license was transferred from the closing Aldeburgh Cross.
Although this pub building was only opened in 1959, there was an earlier pub of the same name somewhere nearby (possibly on the same site?) which was listed in the 1910 Lowestoft Rate book as being somewhere between 24 and 56 Park Rd. This earlier pub evidently goes back some time; Park St is shown on the 1884 Town Plan as Albert St (though the pub isn't marked).
The earlier pub was listed at 28 Albert Street and became 46 or 48 by 1891, which became 46 Park Road between 1901 & 1911.
In 1937 the pub was listed in Kelly's Directory as one of 220 pubs that were retailing beer that they were brewing.
