THE roll-call of lost pubs in last week's Malvern Memories has garnered quite a response.

Tom Jones, of Orchard Road, says the Oddfellows Arms was on the corner of Lower Howsell Road and is now an antique shop, and the North Malvern Hotel building is still there, on the corner of North Malvern Road and Belvoir Bank.

Sid Hunabun, of Poolbrook, remembers the Redan, which stood on North Malvern Road, just where the road turns sharp left towards West Malvern, on the right-hand side of the road going up.

It was knocked down by Malvern Hills Conservators.

The Moodkee Inn stood on the junction of Cowleigh Road and Old Hollow, and was named after a Crimean war reference, as was the Redan.

Also along Lower Howsell Road, across the road from the New Inn, was the Carpenters Arms.

Mr Hunabun also wonders if anyone remembers the Coventry Arms in Powick, down a lane which went off beside the butchers shop.

Robert Apps, a local councillor between 1968 and 1974, now living in Herefordshire, recalls that the White Horse in Worcester Road was where estate agent Whitt, Yeates and Ridley now stands. He and friends used to pop in there for a drink when the Unicorn was too busy.

More old pubs are The Fountain in Court Road, now a nursery, the Cowleigh Arms, the Hornyold Arms in Malvern Wells and the Cob and Castle in Worcester Road, about where Beacon Books is now.

Further afield, Alfrick has lost the Wobbly Wheel and the Swan, and Leigh Sinton the Somers Arms.

Dave Hughes, of Upper Howsell, phoned to remind readers of two more pubs: the Railway in Malvern Link, between the old Fir Tree and the bakery, and the Oxford, at Link Top, on the garage site recently redeveloped for housing.
