About the Pub
This riverside pub is about a mile south of the town centre. Its location means that flooding can be an issue in winter months. A mark on the wall shows the level reached by flood waters in 1953. The split level interior is often dominated by diners during busy periods & a separate restaurant extension has helped to make the venue even more popular during weekends. Nearby, a foot ferry & footbridge provide access to Walberswick. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/pub/865
Historic Interest
Listed as the Fishing Buss at Blackshore Quay between 1823 & 1874. Also listed as the Harbour of Refuge in Black Lane between 1891 & 1900. Rebuilt circa 1840?? A paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson contains the following extract: “The late Jock Peasant ran this pub in the 1950s, with his wife, Bobbie. It has also been called the Harbour of Refuge, the Ship, the Fishing Buss & the Half-and-Halfer, after a type of fishing boat where the proceeds were shared between owner & crew. Mr & Mrs Cross have run the inn for the last 15 years (1954 – 1969)”.
