Full Description
Copy photograph of a postcard.The inn is on the site of stables used as a coaching stage between Southampton and Winchester; a toll house stood opposite. The building shown was built in 1870. The first landlord was Ham Rodaway, who had previously kept a small general shop, selling beer, in what is now Oakmount Road.At the time of the photograph, the inn was owned by the Lion Brewery, Winchester. One of its horse-drawn drays is conveniently standing outside. The illustration cannot be later than 1912, as that was the year in which the bay windows were added.Reference: Hillier, Barbara. 1994.
