Rushbrook Arms, Sicklemere, Suffolk taken 1964
The Rushbrooke Arms was originally called “The Wagon” and was mentioned in a rate-book as long ago as 1746. One of the first named Publicans was Isaac Wilson, followed by a Samuel Scutchy who died in 1769. Since then, the Rushbrooke Arms has changed greatly. In September 1968, there was agreat flood in the village and photos provide evidence that water reached up to the windows of the bar. When under the name “The Wagon” there used to be a public bar and a small off-sales hatch, very different compared with the size it is now. Over the years, many extensions have been added. The most exciting of which was in 1987, when part of a Granary barn from Hitcham was moved here and added to the building.
Looking at this photograph taken in 1964, it would appear that this building has wooden beams which have been painted the same pink colour as the rest of the building rather than left as wood or blackened.
