An old but much extended pub on a main road and close to new housing estates on the north side of the town. It is to be demolished to allow for the development of yet more housing.

The Churchill Arms
A cream-painted pub in a large village in the Stour Valley in eastern Dorset. Plans have been lodged for conversion to residential use.
The Oakdale
A typical large 1930s redbrick roadhouse. It faces on to Wessex Way and looks as though it once enjoyed access from the main road – taking this away may have been the reason for its demise. There are now plans to build an 84-bed care home on the extensive site.
The White Hart
An impressive-looking pub at the east end of the main street of Dorchester, with a statue of a white hart above the door. It’s surprising that a pub has closed and been allowed to fall into dereliction in this busy market town location. I remember having a very enjoyable pint of Tanglefoot in this pub in 1987.
