The hotel is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)

An application for an extension in time of one hour was granted to Mr G Mason of the Wherry Inn, on the occasion of the Oulton Regatta on Whit Monday.Ipswich Journal, May 1880**
An application for an extension in time of two hours was granted to Mr G Mason of the Wherry Inn, on the occasion of his annual dinner.Ipswich Journal, December 1880**
The current edifice dates from 1897 when then owner and proprietor, George Mason rebuilt the property on the same site but on a much grander scale than before. By 1900 he was advertising "the Original Fishing Quarters in Oulton Broad", where man, bait and boat could be hired for the cost of 7s for a good day's fishing.
