Historic Interest
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Ferry Boat's license was issued in 1832. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 02 Dec in 1807 states that "The Ferry Public House & Ferry (Felixstowe) to Harwich, to be sold on 15th January, 1808; in the occupation of Mr ELLIS" A report in the Ipswich Journal*** in Jul 1810 states that : An announcement was made of the death of Mr William Howes, who for many years kept the Walton Ferry. However a paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson** claims that the pub was first licensed in 1838, although it had operated as the ferry house for many years previously?
