News The Old House at Home, Paulsgrove
Earlier news

Article from May Newsletter

In our May newsletter, we asked whether anyone had any information about the builder or the architect of the Old House at Home Public House in Allaway Avenue, Paulsgrove. We had been alerted to the threat of demolition of the 1930's style building for housing redevelopment.

We are pleased to report that the pub has now been listed and therefore saved from destruction, but the history is still not confirmed - there are conflicting accounts and we'd like to get the story right!

So, please, if you have any recollections of the building or of the site then we'd be interested to hear from you. Do you remember it before or immediately after the second world war? Answers please to Roger James on 023 9273 4555 or by email .
