| The iron shutters have now been taken off the windows and the place is being stripped out- whether for restoration as a pub or for some other purpose I don't know. Perhaps someone from East Ipswich can let us know whether the pub has been saved. edchambers - 22 May 2008 23:31 |
| Currently- and probably permanently- closed. A decade or so ago this was a popular little pub, the only one in Ipswich serving real ales straight from the cask. Successive landlords came along and took away the real ale, food etc, and of course the customers stopped coming. Just up the road is the Dove, one of the most successful and popular pubs in the UK and I often wonder why someone from the Water Lily- or indeed from Punch Taverns who own it- never looked in at the window and thought 'Why have they got lots of customers when we haven't got any??'Not that Punch care- they've probably already sold the place off for flats. edchambers - 23 Mar 2007 21:49 |
