The building of the new Chieftain is well under way. It's a lot smaller and further over the the right. My main memory is driving past one Sunday morning and having to avoid a door in the road.

No sad loss there. Now all they need to do is burn down the Peartree as well. The plcae was always full of trouble.

The Woodman was a top pub in the late sixties before I moved to Perth downunder. It is certainly sad to see another part of my WGC life become just a memory.

That's the start. The Cereal Partners (Shredded Wheat) site has been bought by Tesco and is due to be demolished. In fact, Tesco now own nearly all of Broadwater Road. They plan to make it into a leisure park.

The Pub Was for most of its life called "The Woodman"

[victius]

The Woodman, The Chieftain, The Ploughman's Table, The Chieftain. It was only in the last few years it lost its reputation as a roughneck establishment.

that was a damm fine pub - what'll become of it now.. houses for refugees no doubt

[victius]

From what I know, it can only be redeveloped into another pub. Planning permission for anything else has not been granted - yet.
