The building dates from the early 19th century. After a period of closure the pub reopened in August 2010 as a restaurant with a bar, but finally closed for good mid-2012.
the original street was bypassed by the A134, so the front of the pub faces away from the road.
Historically it is often listed in Long Melford, as the hamlet of Bridge Street is partly in that parish.
