Formerly part of the New Inn in the C17, it is the oldest surviving licensed premises in the town. The present building is C18 and grade II listed. During those times the upper rooms were used as a Magistrates Court, and by members of the Poole Turnpike Trust. It was a busy coaching inn, and in the C19 King George III's coach would call here en-route to Weymouth, and the coach carrying transportees bound for Australia after sentencing would also call here for the overnight stop from Dorchester. http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=107072&mode=adv Image
