Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal*** on 25 May in 1855 states that : "Mr Edward GREENE is auctioning this public-house, he having determined to have no tied custom: The Railway Tavern, near the Station, Bury, occupied by Mr Jas. GARWOOD." In 1861 listed at 10 Northgate Rd. Listed in 1874 at 7 Out Northgate & later at 31 out Northgate. (Northgate Rd. & Out Northgate are the same road.) Recorded as Railway Tavern in 1871 census. A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Jan-13 in 1857 when Thomas Garwood was the landlord reports that he was witness in a case concerning a stollen hogget sheep. A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Oct-05 in 1869 when Thomas Garwood was the landlord reports that Garwood pleaded guilty to selling beer at 5 past 4 on a Sunday. Fined 1s with 8s costs. A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Aug-08 in 1876 when Thomas Garwood was the landlord reports that : "In a case of assault the landlords of both the Railway Tavern & Britania, Thomas Garwood & John Manning respectively, gave evidence with respect to the victims sobriety. The question was asked, "how many half pints old Bury beer to make a man drunk?" It was suggested that 4 halves would do no harm but be beneficial."
