Former commercial & family hotel.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Railway hotel's license was issued in 1862. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.
Also listed in Station Rd in 1874.
It was called the Railway Tavern when it was opened. The local name for the Railway Hotel used to be the Ram. A row of houses near the hotel is called Ram Row."Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson, 1969**
