Project: Dorset - Poole
Poole.
The impressive size of the Town Cellars was reduced by the cutting of Thames Street through it in 1788, creating what is now the King Charles Pub. The main section of the pub was built in Tudor times, hence the timber-framed walls and oriel windows. Inside, the old roof beams, panelling and an original fireplace remain. The pub, which is reputed as being haunted, was named after King Charles X of France, who landed here on his way to exile in 1830. Can you see the black doors to the side of the King Charles? This is an old storeroom and today is still used as a yearly store for a French onion seller who plies his trade on Poole streets.
