Local record

History of this pub

Foxburrow stood on Yarmouth Road in Gunton, an area incorporated into Lowestoft in 1934. Suffolk CAMRA records a pub at this place in the early 1900s, while cautioning that it may not have been the same building. Its 1997 guide remembered an especially distinctive interior detail: nine clinker-built rowing boats hanging from the ceiling. The final Beefeater shared the site with a Premier Inn.
