Note

Although such signs of a black boy usually today portray a quaint picture of a sweep in Dickensian costume - in the 17th cent. the fashion for negro servants e.g. pageboys was also quite common for the wealthy.

Local licensing authority for Bury St Edmunds is St Edmundsbury

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
