CAROLINE Nokes helped to pour the inaugural pints for a new lounge bar for the Romsey Working Men’s Conservative Club.
Opening last Friday, the MP for Romsey and Southampton North took part in unveiling the new facility at the club in Romsey’s Market Place.
She joined club chairman Dave Maslen and other members from 7pm.
In her weekly letter to the Advertiser, MP Caroline Nokes said: “I was able to visit the new bar and lounge of the Romsey Working Men’s Conservative Club to pull the first pint of locally made Flack Manor beer and officially open it.
This large investment has created a hugely welcoming space which I know will be appreciated by members of this long-standing club.”
The club stands on the site of the Old Swan Inn, which is one of the oldest licensed premises in the town.
In the year 1642, it is recorded that two soldiers of Cromwell’s Army were hanged from the wrought iron sign bracket attached to the wall.
