Located on the south bank of the Orwell, right on the water on Bridge Street, immediately to the west of Stoke Bridge. It first appears in Ipswich borough records in 1562 during the reign of Elizabeth I (reigned 1558 - 1603) when the owner was a "Mr. MADOCKE" and it was noted "water at back gate". It appears not to have been a very large house at that time It was rebuilt in 1819 and from 1835 to 1873 was run by a Noah HAMBLING. In 1823/24, its owner/publican was a T. TAYLOR. It was torn down after September, 1924, along with the demolition of all the other timber-framed buildings in the immediate area when the concrete bridge and approaches still standing today were built (and completed in April, 1925). *
