The Treacle Mine was situated at the junction of Silchester Road and Broad Halfpenny Lane. This building housed Lowes Shop in the first decades of the 20th century then became Lowes Corner Hotel after WWII. It became a pub called The Treacle Mine in the 1980s then was renamed The Broomsquire in the early two-thousands. Towards the end of that decade it reverted to being a hotel and the swinging pub sign was removed. The pub names refer to Tadley's fictitious treacle mines and to its actual broomsquires (broom makers) who hold a Royal Warrant.
