I was the last landlord here, very sad day we left, Hall
and Woodhouse pulled it from under us, after spending a load of money on
it, I painted it through out including all the outside cleaned up the
garden and turned 2 rooms into b & b, they said it wasnt viable, which
meant they had sold it to build a 53 bed care home on the land, its now
demolished |

I remember going into the original 'Upton Hotel' and what
was once the 'off licence' The 'offy' was situated right in the middle
of the building. The car park was always full. The Pub was built in the
1920's and the name 'Greenridge' is because of the Green roof tiles
which I think were made by Carters tiles of Poole |
