A Bit of History

The Pub is located within the Old Walls of the City of Southampton, and was built in the same place as the residence of the Author Jane Austen who lived at this location for a short while.

Jane's home from 1807 to 1809 was sited here in Castle Square. The House was rented from the Marquis of Lansdowne, who lived opposite in his Mock-Gothic Castle. The Austen's Garden stretched back to the Town Walls, affording extensive views of the New Forest. At that time the River Test, at high tide, reached the Base of the Walls.
