The pub was built in 1905 and was, until recently, quite well-known and apparently successful. However, it has been unable to escape the trend for pubs to close their doors for the last time and the previous owners of the Rodbourne Arms, Punch Taverns, closed it earlier in 2011. Planning permission has been granted to the new owners for its demolition and replacement with a frozen foods retail outlet. Update: October 2011 and it's gone Image NOTE.
