The Trooper Inn was a very old house dating from the 16th
century which survived until the 1960's, it was characterised by its low
ceilings and small rooms.
The name had an obvious link with the military presence at Parkhurst and stood
by the entrance to Towngate.
After closure it lingered on as a wholesalers warehouse before demolition. The
site still stands empty and the adjacent garage uses it as a forecourt car
display area. *
