My grandparents Ernest John woods and Louisa woods were the tenants of this
pub. We believe from 1932 until at least 1944. *
During the second world war, a bomb hit the house next to the pub and my
grandparents had to use the ale to put out the fire however they never got
any compensation. another incident was that a bomb landed in a tin bath in
the garden but luckily didn't explode.
Many raids on Portsmouth were made, and the chimney of pub of the Portsmouth
united breweries was a good landmark for the Luftwaffe and I understand that
either the first or second air raid resulted in the brewery chimney being
hit and subsequently demolished. *
