Smith's Arms Godmanstone Dorset. 2003
Texture KF VIII-53 CS6 Textures kindly provided by Kerstin Frank .
The Smith's Arms, Godmanstone, closed for business seven years ago. A small faded handwritten sign in the window says the pub closed due to ‘continued ill-health’ and states the pub will not re-open. This is followed by a message of thanks to all the Smith’s Arms loyal customers.
It is said that the original licence was granted by King Charles II, when he requested that the village smith serve him a glass of porter. The smith refused as he had no licence, so Charles granted him one on the spot and was served his drink.
