Southampton pub history index
The original building dated back to 1740�s when a one George Burcy who had been landlord of the nearby Red Lion pub became the first landlord of this pub, it was destroyed during a WW2 air raid, the pub then operated out of a temporary shack until the present building opened in November 1957 with an A Watson as landlord. The pub was owned by the Cooper�s Brewery prior to WW2 but was owned by Watney�s Brewery when it reopened in 1957, 1991 saw its name changed to Fiddlers after it reopened following a refurbishment, however with the decline of the High Street pub trade it closed in the mid 2000�s and was converted into the Zen Japanese Restaurant. *
