This Pub is Permanently Closed

This split level pub was popular with diners and was located on the Fynn Valley walk, with two historic wells.

There's been a pub on this site since 1748, although the present building is much more recent.

It closed due to problem with the pub's drainage system in July 2012, following a nearby new building development. The current owners and last landlords (for 8½ years) have converted the pub to their own residential usage.

A campaign group has been set up in the village to try to get the pub reopened, possibly by purchasing it if it comes on the market. See friendsoftheadmiralshead.org.uk.

Update: we noticed in June 2019 that the building is now up for sale. As the sale is being handled by Fleurets, this suggests it may be being marketed as a pub, so perhaps the villagers may get a chance to reopen it?

Historic Interest

According to the 1904 Woodbridge licensing records, the Admiral's Head's license was issued in 1803. A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 15 Aug 1801 makes reference to the sale of The ADMIRALS HEAD Inn, in Little Bealings. In June 1982 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that The Admirals Head had been closed by Tolly Cobbold "some time ago" but had just reopened as a food pub after being refinanced by a group of local business men. Photographs of this pub and more up-to-date and detailed information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/625
