A post-war pub on the junction of Ringwood Highway and Woodway Lane. As early as May 1963 the Licensing Planning Committee proposed to remove the licence of the Acorn in Cox Street for the building of a new pub of the same name at Ringwood Highway. The plans for the pub to be built on stilts were passed in October 1967. The space beneath provided car parking.
The pub opened on Tuesday 20th May 1969.
On the 30th March 1988 it became the POTTERS ARMS, a name based upon the pub's location in Potters Green.
After a series of closures, re-openings and changes of management due to repeated trouble and violence, the pub closed in October 1991. | |||
