Large Hall and Woodhouse pub on the Upton crossroads at the top end of Dorchester Road.
Formerly known as the Upton Hotel and still referred to as such by local residents, this was a grand, multi room pub with smart, carpeted lounge bar, simple public bar with pool table and a restaurant area to the right. Unfortunately, as the only pub in Upton, it tended to attract trouble and towards the end of its life, wasn't the sort of place you'd want to spend an evening.
The pub was eventually closed by the brewery back in 2008, after years of neglect which meant that the place was sadly, no longer fit for purpose. For nearly four years now, the building has stood in ruin, with no roof and boarded windows, creating a real eyesore right in the middle of the, now pub-less, town.
The brewery are trying to push through plans to turn the site into a care home for the elderly with some retail units incorporated, arguing that the town is in serious need of accommodation for the elderly, although to my mind, the town is now in serious need of somewhere for people to be able to drink.
