The Fishermans Arms is a former public house in South Street. Planning permission for change of use was granted to Palmers Brewery in January 1998 and it was then used as a County Council day centre for people with learning disabilities until budget cuts saw its closure last year. The tiled sign by the door, a relic from its Pub days, has been removed (see Image ). There was talk of the site being redeveloped as a Social Services centre for adult services by 2019, but the County Council is becoming a unitary authority next year and budget cuts continue, so I wouldn't bet on it.
