hiya i was wondering since this is history if any one knew about the the nelson pub that was once down victoria rd and if they know any thing that went on there. i have recently found out it was the nelson pub and that i think in 1997 i moved in to the one of the houses that was built after it was pulled down. the reason why i would like to know bout it is because some spooky things went on in the house i lived in which was 333 victoria road. things where moved around, footsteps heavy footsteps up and down the stairs. things dissppearing. i dont know much at all about it and dont really know where to look and i am hoping that some one knows about the pub i know it is going back say 13 proberlly 15 yrs but i would really like to know some sort of history of it. would the libary be good to? to try and find out about it since i cant find any fing really online.
sorry for any short words

Hi Lil. smiler people die everywhere and I'm sure the pub has had its fair share of deaths over the years but having lived here a looooong time and remembering the pub well I don't remember ever hearing about anything violent happening there, maybe someone else does, but judging by the fact that no one has popped up on here to tell you probably suggests it didnt and it was just a regular pub. Try Ivan Bunn local historian,- get to him through the library

So Many Questions..... So Little Time.....

"The Lord Nelson was erected in 1903 and is the reason why there are so many roads with a Nelson connection in this area (Hardy, Suckling, Burnham)
The house was erected upon the hope of recieving the custom of those of the West Lowestoft Estate (Kimberley Road area) and further from workers of the Ice Company and those of Maconochie.
Whilst the reputation of house was never upmarket, prior to WWII it viewed as quite solid
Sadly the lack of custom, lead to lack of improvement, which started the chain over again and to its eventual closure
"The Lord Nelson" was located at 333 Victoria Road, demolished in 1996, after being purchased by the Suffolk Heritage Housing Association.
Hope this helps?

That’s very true, funky. I did mention a while back, in response to a posting about ghosts, an incident which happened in my home - whilst a blind friend was visiting. He suddenly went quiet - when I asked him what was wrong - he replied that something had come into the room. We must bear in mind that he, being blind from birth, is susceptible to changes that can happen - like a slight change in temperature.
The following day I phoned a lady I know who is a medium - and told her of this, adding that I felt this could be somehow caused by me. Her immediate response was that it was solely down to him - and nothing to do with me. The next time we met, we discussed this and the subject generally and he then admitted that he has had similar experiences at his home.
