In the High Street, currently (2022) the USA Fried Chicken. This is one of those premises that the vast majority of the townspeople have no idea was once a pub, in this original building.

At one time the premises would have comprised all of the yard with access to the High Street and Drapery Row, and that yard possibly extended into Wellington Street. That was when the Moody family had their brewery there, before buying out Charles Phillips for £1,200 in 1865 and moving to his brewery to the corner of Albion Street with Market Street.
The Moody brothers were bankrupt by 1869, Robert was running the business and sister Harriet took over and managed for some years to keep the firm going, but in 1896 the brewery and all its pubs were sold to Greene, King. When the pub, as opposed to the Brewery was closed has not been found. The bulk of the newspaper reports are adverts for the Brewery when in the hands of Harriet.

An undated advertisement is known of C.B.Bosworth, King's Head Brewery, Newmarket..Corn, Coal, Coke and Forage Merchant, Importer and Dealer n High Class Wine and Spirits

In 1900 it was Wrexham House, a grocer/fruiterers run by Joseph Simpson. That became Joseph Proctor's in 1901. In the 1911 census it was Proctor's Fruiterers and Maypole Dairy. Maypole Dairy gave way to DER Radio Rentals after 1953 and the fast food takeaway shop started there in 2004.
