The Coach & Horses was situated at 41
Upper Brook Street. This pub closed in 1985. and is now used as a charity
shop and a game cafe. |

This pub was taken over by my 4x great
grandfather John Osboldstone and his wife Mary on Saturday 14th April 1787.
Originally a stagecoach driver from Dorset he moved to Colchester and then
onto Ipswich when he was 27 years old. I found this advertisement for his
opening day in the Ipswich Journal:
"Mr John Osboldstone takes the liberty of informing his friends and public
in general that he has taken the above house together with the stock of old
bottled wine and other liquor. He has fitted up many good beds and
endeavoured to render every apartment as commodious and eligable as possible
for the reception of those who will honour him with their commands which he
hopes with strict attention and faculty will merit their attention. NB.
Excellent stabling." |
