Britain's Pubs [Page 2/2] (Part of Britain's Lost & Living Pub Series)

#RIP Ordnance Arms ⚰️ The pub is one of the last recognisable traits of the region. It had its name changed to "O'Connors" some time before February 2007, but it changed back to the "Ordnance Arms" again in May 2016. The pub sits opposite the old 'Royal #ArtilleryBarracks in #Woolwich', which is now a modernistic estate. One surviving pub in the artillery zone is the 'Dial Arch' (Riverside, The Warren, No 1 St, Royal #Arsenal, #London). We coveted it in the past as it was the founding spot of @Arsenal football club. The Ordnance served many football fans and locals alike, we will keep an eye on it and hope for the best.

To those who know the way, I'll see you for a few down the "Prancing Pony." As for the rest of you, we shall see thee on the morrow. 🍻 @BritainsPubs

No modern bar will ever compete with a traditional public house. (The Blue Bell in #York, North #Yorkshire, #England. Picture by Horst A. Friedrichs for Great Pubs of England /Prestel.)

I'm sad to announce that the Ordnance (#Arsenal) pub in #Woolwich, #London, #SE18, has been closed with a repossession notice attached outside. The pub was certainly rough around the edges, but it served an important purpose. The area has heavily declined post its modernization. @VinnieSullivan
