Historic Interest
A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 27 Nov in 1863 states : "Died, 25.11.1863 at Long Melford, Mr Robert HARRIS, aged 51, for many years, landlord of the Hare Inn, Long Melford." A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 26 Oct in 1869 states that : "The licensed Vctuallers Tea Association advertised the sale of tea via its Suffolk Agents." This was a response to the irregular sale of Wine by Grocers & included a reference to C.B. GLASSCOCK of the Hare Inn, Long Melford. A late 18th or early 19th century façade covers a much older building. The pub is known to date back at least to 1793, when the Bury & Norwich Post reported the sale of farmland taking place on the premises. A Victorian brewery was once located here. Photographs of this Grade II Listed pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/638
Multi roomed pub. The original public bar is the room to the rear right, now a pool room. It retains very old bench seating around the room, a stable door/hatch to the servery and tongue and groove ceiling. The rear left room has old dado panelling on the walls and a brick bar counter of a 1960s design; the bar back could well be from the 1960s. The front left room has what looks like panelling to picture frame height but is actually beading on a plaster wall and could well date from the 1930s as could the brick and wood surround fireplace. The front main bar was possibly two small rooms and a passage in the past and has good old benches and fireplace on the right, but the bar fittings are modern. Changes about 30 years ago says a local.
