Halesworth Town Trail: Bridge Street

Halesworth Town Trail

Bridge Street

Turn left into Bridge Street, past the library, opened in 1996, and on past the old Hawk Inn which is originally 17^th Century, brick-cased in 1940. In about 1908 the landlord, John Tirrell, would line up pints of beer in time for the lunch break hooter at the Suffolk Carriage works opposite. In 1868 the works employed 100 staff to meet London market demands, later building motor cars to customers' specifications.
