The Woolpack Public House is an eighteenth century public house located where Bolton Lane forks into Westerfield Road and Tuddenham Road, in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. It is a Grade II listed building and has an 18th century facade made of red bricks, but the interior is most likely of an earlier date.[1][2]
The pub started out as a country inn, located just by a toll-gate which stood at the top of Bolton Lane. Visitors to Ipswich were charged a toll for their carriages and carts. However, many farmers avoided the fee by stabling their horses at the stables provided by the Woolpack, with their vehicles parked in Westerfield or Tuddenham Road.[3]
