Southampton pub history index
Charles Swanson was landlord in the 1870’s of this fully
licensed property; the Scrase’s Star Brewery House later being brought by
Strong’s Romsey Brewery; in 1969 Whitbread’s Brewery took over when they
purchased Strong’s Romsey Brewery. The pub was nearly destroyed in 1941 when a
Heinkel 111 bomber crashed into the house opposite causing the pub to be badly
damaged having to be propped up with wooden props for many years after the war,
it changed names to the Gatehouse before closing 2008, and now converted into
flats. *
The landlady Eliza Nightingale in 1915 was fined £11.00.00 for
1) serving drink outside permitted hours: 2) refusing to admit a policeman on
duty. *
