Historic Interest

Originally 3 small shops. The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Shannon's license was issued in 1853. 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 12 Oct in 1839 states that : Free Public House, The Shannon, Bucklesham, to be sold by private contract, with an old-established shop in the general trade, attached thereto, in the occupation of the Proprietor (not named) Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/103
