Designed by Sir William Edis, the hotel received its first full licence on 7th April 1903, despite initial objections. Transferred from the
Star Brewery , Cambridge to Tolly Cobbold of Ipswich
From Mike Petty's Newmarket Scrapbook :- "5th January 1912 - The manager of the Coronation Hotel, Newmarket was awakened by his dog and found smoke coming into the room through the chinks in the doorway. On opening the door he was met by a volume of smoke pouring in from the corridor. Finding the usual outlet to the street barred he went round to the back and lowered himself by a knotted sheet from a window. The heat of the flames cracked the liqueur and spirit bottles which added to the flames but six dozen bottles of Bass, when broken, assisted in extinguishing them." In the Sedgewick Museum are some bones of straight tusked elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, aurochs, bison, red deer and fallow deer. These came from a pit close to Newmarket Station, now occupied by the Coronation Hotel, as Recorded by Marr (1926, 115). Hughes (1916, 16) described "beds of gravel and sand with lenticular masses of kneaded-up chalk and grey clay with chalk and flint at its base". He thought the bones were probably derived from an earlier deposit. At one time there was a sale yard for livestock next door, sold in 1912 by Holland and Sons. The last few years of its existence it became the "Royal Coronation Hotel". In October 1999 the owners, Pubmaster, submitted planning application to convert the premises into 8 flats with two houses on the car park.
