Oakdale, Oakdale

Built 1954 by Strongs of Romsey and very much an estate style pub. There are still separate rooms with a door between. Originally there was also a snug on the left and an off-sales area towards the right-hand side of the servery. The main building is of engineering quality brick/red tile roof of classic design and there is a brick counter. The two simple bars remain as built (no extensions or revision of layout). It has in front fancy ironwork reliefs which are most attractive and may well have been produced from the now defunct Poole foundry. The lounge has original slatted wooden bench seating but with modern upholstery? There is also a large open fireplace, again using the same brickwork, and which has been extended by a foot or so in recent years..The garden is certainly one of the largest in the area.
