This pub had several different names and was called Dixies at time of closure.

Bob Pearce (October 2012)

Known as Pullinger’ Hotel in the early 1840s, when Philip Goepel was landlord, by the late 1840’s it had been renamed the Clarendon Hotel, which was noted for its hot and cold vapour baths. The 1880’s saw its name change to the Glasgow Hotel and it came under the ownership of Coopers Brewery, By 1925 it was known as the Glasgow Restaurant and Oyster Grotto.The original building was destroyed in a 1940 WW2 air raid. A temporary flat roof shack was erected until Watney’s Brewery built the present building in 1958. After a major refurbishment in 1989 it reopened as The Gamekeeper. This did not prove popular and  after more alterations it opened again in 1990 as Dixie’s, a bar/cafe. This eventually closed and is now used as offices for a rubber company.
