Halesworth

"Beccles for a puritan Bungay for the poor Halesworth for a drunkard And Blythburgh for a whore" thus runs an old verse and Halesworth certainly became an important brewing and malting centre with the opening up of the river Blyth Navigation after an Act passed in 1756. Dawson Turner and his son-in-law, William Hooker, owned the Bridge Street brewery in 1817, where his son Joseph was born. Both William and son were later to become directors of Kew Gardens. It is said that William Hooker began his extensive collection of herbs and four botanical works whilst still living in the town.

Not all Halesworth pubs are plotted on the map as we do not have sufficiently accurate location information about 9 closed pubs.


On some slower computers (hand-helds, old machines, for example) displaying the maps may take a long time and even cause the computer to hang. If you have this problem, please click here
All information is presented here in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of writing.
The addresses of old pubs (numbers and sometimes even street names) may not always coincide with the building's current address (if it's still standing), as street names sometimes change, as do numbering schemes

Please contact Nigel Smith with any corrections.
