I remember the live bands they used to have in the back hall in the 60s0

Character building from the first half of the 1800s. They don't build them like that any more.
Another landmark sacrificed on the altar of profiteering.

Often stopped in there on the walk to and from the ground...sad to see it go0

Spent plenty of time in there myself but it's been a dump for the last ten years and no-one is going to revive it as a pub.1

Drank in there many a time, mid 80’s Terry Naylor used to work behind the jump3

Used to be one of our lunchtime pubs in the 80's.0

Misleading from the outside just how much land it occupies.0
-
The link says that the plans see 14 flats built in a replacement block, a new pub and 6 houses.0

Maybe, but's it's the loss of a character building, to be replaced by a bland apartment block, because they want to develop the land.Cardinal Sin said:Spent plenty of time in there myself but it's been a dump for the last ten years and no-one is going to revive it as a pub.
They make their quick profit and then move on to do the same again where ever they can, repeat ad infintium - regardless of the impact on those neighbourhoods/community.

Such a shame as I did love this pub on a match day, friendly bar staff.2

I grew up sitting outside pubs in Woolwich and Charlton, my mum and dad were regulars in most of them. Especially in the Frances Street area, namely The Army House, Kings Head, Navy and Army and the Admiral.
Yesterday, I had to go to the Valley and drove that way. It's so sad to see how many pubs are no longer there, I truly believe that this is killing community spirit.

so many pubs close now - the money to be made on drink is f all - that combined with the shit you have to put up with, people nowadays expect food, sky & bt sport, a selection of "bottled" beers, bottles of prosecco, board games - at least that is what everyone around london expects, an old school pub i dont mind is the albany in albany park -pool table for a bit of killer pool with mates and has a few tellies.0

Can't be many pubs left within a mile of the Valley.
Watermans gone, Valley gone, Pickwick and Antigallican going, Swan and Bugle always seems to be under threat.0 -

Very sad day. Many charlton related memories in this fine old proper pub.
If we were in the premiership may be it could of survived on the big once a week crowd. But we’re league 3 and couldn’t hope to fill it on a regular basis. I’m chalking this up to our mad owner, smaller crowds have a knock on effect.0 -
Flats, flats gotta have flats. Let’s destroy our heritage and countryside to build more fucking homes!!!!!1

If we build them they will come. Why don't we just stop building?1
