The Three Choughs was situated on West Street. This 18th century grade-II listed pub is now used as a private residence.

I remember going into the Three Choughs in Blandford Forum back in 1965 and being amazed at all the Military Badges that were pinned to the Wooden Beams. Sadly I think they were all sold when the then landlord retired.

Name Dates Comments Nigel Bartram 1963/1965 In the early to mid 60's, one of the most friendly, civilised pubs in Blandford. As an ex- school mate said recently, "more of a club than a pub". The landlord at the time was W.G. Montgomery, retired heraldic artist , who covered the walls with dozens of small heraldic shields. Huge fireplace, safe and welcoming for female fellow schoolmates. Plus a "swing the ring" game. I still mourn the loss of this pub.
