An impressive street-corner pub in the Shirley district on the north-west side of the city, which clearly predates the surrounding housing. It closed in 2011 and has since been converted to residential use.

The Shield & Dagger
A post-war pub, originally knoqn as the Stratton, in a back-street location in the Shirley district on the north-west side of the city. Demolition work began in September 2024.
The Village Bells
An attractive white-painted pub in the fork of two roads in a village located across the estuary of the Test from Southampton. It closed for the last time in 2015.
The Castle
A large and rather severe-looking inter-wars pub on an extensive corner site on the north-east side of the city. It closed in 2011 and is now a Tesco Express.
The Bull’s Eye
This was the first new Watney’s pub to be built in Southampton after the Second World War. It has now become a Tesco Express.
The Stoneham Arms
A large inter-wars mock-Tudor pub on the main A27 on the north side of the city. It has now become a Co-op convenience store.
The Bridge Tavern
A handsome inter-wars Brewer’s Tudor pub on the north-west side of the city, photographed by StreetView on a beautiful, sunny Spring day in 2015. Unsurprisingly, there are now plans to demolish it and build a four-storey block of flats in its place.
Players
A relatively modest 1930s mock-Tudor pub, originally the Cooper’s Arms, set back from the road on a housing estate to the west of the town. The extensive site must have considerable potential for residential development.
The Jolly Miller
A Victorian roadside mock-Tudor pub that in recent times became the “Chilli Pad” Indian restaurant, which has also now failed.
The Goose & Timber
A modern sports bar on the main road to the west of the town centre, previously known as Dukes.
The Stag
A prominent roadside inn on the main road between Ringwood and Salisbury, that in its latter years was more of a restaurant called the Café Continental.
The Tumbledown Dick
The Tumbledown Dick, Farnborough, Hampshire
A historic red-brick former coaching inn now stranded amongst dual carriageways, multi-storey car parks and retail parks. There is a campaign to save it here.
The Vine
A sizeable three-storey inn on the main street of this prosperous town on the River Test noted for its trout fishing. Given the amount of money about locally, it surely can’t be long before it is reopened.
The Wheatsheaf
A long-closed pub in the city’s southern suburb of St Cross, retaining a distinctive legend along the side of “Ale and Stout Drawn from the
Wood” which it is believed originated from the Eldridge Pope brewery.
The New Queen’s Head
A modern estate pub, possibly 1950s, that is still going on StreetView but has now been bricked up behind its windows.
The Ferryman & Firkin
An imposing Victorian building on Southampton’s High Street. Still open on StreetView. The Dolphin Hotel next door is also an impressive-looking place.
The Hunters Lodge
An attractive pub with a large car park on the bypassed old main road through the town.
The Wiltshire Lamb
A redbrick street corner pub with an unusual and possibly unique name, in this rather off-the-beaten-track Hampshire town.
The Bullington Cross
This well-known pub shares its name with the busy road junction of the A34 and A303 near Andover – indeed it is actually sited within a loop of the junction. The second view shows the barricaded road leading to the pub.
