The Abingdon Arms (2) - sign, 87 Grove Street, Wantage
One of several houses now owned by the Suffolk brewers Greene King of Bury. St. Edmunds. In 2000 they took over the brewing business of Morland & Co of Abingdon, and with this purchase acquired several Wantage public houses. The Morland beers are now brewed in Bury St. Edminds. The pub's name no doubt derives from the fact that Morland's brewery was in Abingdon. The sign bears some resemblance to part of the coat of arms for the town of Abingdon except that on the coat of arms the colour blue is green.

The Abingdon Arms (3) - Morland Brewery sign, 87 Grove Street, Wantage
The Abingdon Arms used to be a Morland house, until Greene King purchased them in 2000, and transferred brewing of the Morland ales to Bury St. Edmunds. It is a nice touch that this Morland sign remains on the pub's exterior. The Morland business almost survived 300 years, as it was started in 1711 by farmer John Morland in the village of West Ilsley in Berkshire. In the 1880's the brewing operations were moved to Abingdon, where the company had already acquired two local breweries. In the 1920's it purchased the Wantage Brewery Company and some of the present Greene King pubs in Wantage may originally have been owned by them.

Think this is Chapel close which is built on the old Garston Lane school, would have thought they'd call it school close.
