The former Kings Arms on Benton Street is a typical example of [[timber framing]]. The building, a pub for over 400 years, has sections that date to the 15th century. It was known unofficially as the "Old Monkey" and is still referred to by that name today. It is now a private residence and bed and breakfast.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://suffolk.greatbritishlife.co.uk/article/is-this-suffolks-sexiest-place-to-stay-old-monkey-hadleigh-32452/ | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130420205253/http://suffolk.greatbritishlife.co.uk/article/is-this-suffolks-sexiest-place-to-stay-old-monkey-hadleigh-32452/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 20 April 2013 | title = Is this Suffolk's sexiest place to stay? | work = Suffolk Magazine | publisher = [[Archant]] | access-date = 30 March 2013 | first = Julie | last = Holden }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/pub/357 |title=Hadleigh King's Arms summary from |publisher=Suffolk CAMRA |access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref>

The Brett Works site, off Pound Lane, was for some years the home of Brett Valley Joinery and was later allocated by Babergh District Council as a potential site for a new foodstore. Supermarket [[Tesco]] made a number of controversial proposals for the building of a store in the town.
