Swaythling: The Fleming Arms
The Fleming Arms is named after Sir Thomas Fleming (1544-1613) of Stoneham, at one time the Lord Chief Justice. The pub is a three storey Georgian building, much earlier than the 1903 date in the gable end of the extension at the right might suggest. There is an undated photo of the pub on the Wills Fleming Historical Trust website here http://www.willisfleming.org.uk/estates/hants_and_iow/Image:Flemingarms_sway.jpg showing it in earlier times, but certainly after the 1903 extension was built, with signage of Strong's Brewery of Romsey. The new and old photographs have both been taken from the same viewpoint across Wide Lane.
Latterly the pub became a Beefeater restaurant, but after a fire, was bought by the George Gale brewery of Horndean. The Gale's Brewery was acquired by Fuller's Brewery of Chiswick in 2005.
