Historic Interest

At a Petty Sessions hearing on 29 September 1860 'The Steamboat Tavern, near the new landing-stage' was refused a new spirit licence. Out of the twenty four applications only three establishments were granted licences. The pub is located close to the impressive (Grade II listed) Felaw Malting buildings - one the largest traditional malting sites ever built in East Anglia (built in 1904 & 1911 respectively), sadly malting finished here in 1981. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/560
