An ex Morrisons Local store. The 140 Morrison's convenience stores were sold in September 2015 after the chain had made a trading loss on them for a couple of years. This is the rebranded result. The premises were previously Arkell's "The Three Tuns" which closed in 2010, see Image and Image The name of the pub can be seen in the brickwork on the gable end. The front has Kingsdown Ales & Porter in the three brick recessed panels. I can remember the landlord in the late 60s and early 70s, Eddie Bye, having a noisy parrot in the bar; so I used to use the lounge on the odd occasions I visited the place. Before the construction of the Ellandune Centre in the early 1970s the War Memorial stood at this road junction where the mini roundabout is.
