Bury St Edmunds Everard's Hotel
- AKA Wool Pack, Wool Packet?
- previously known as Woolpack Inn
- Cornhill
- grid reference TL 852 641
- closed 1991
The Norfolk Chronicle refers to a Bury pub called the Wool Packet in August 1781. Was this the same as the Woolpack?
The Woolpack name may be a reference to the earlier inn listed in the Meat Market on this site?
My mother in laws parents ran the Everards hotel. They were called Tom and Lucy Butcher. Regards Nige Cryer
Today the building is used as retail premises. It's reported that when the current Pizza Hut was being set up, no fewer than seventeen wells were found behind the premises.
