| There
was an inn recorded within Broadwater in 1698. The Maltsters' Arms
in the village street was recorded from ca 1780, and may have been
called the Mill-Wrights' Arms in the 1820s and 1830's. The original building was a copyhold cottage that was rebuilt into the Maltster's Arms which it remained until 1934 when the current building was erected. The old building was demolished during the road widening scheme for Broadwater Street West. |

| The picture opposite, shows the old Maltster's Arms in about 1885 with the end of a building protruding from behind it. This building is thatched and appears to be a barn but is on the exact site of the old cottages which by 1885 had gone. | ||||||
| The picture below reminds me of my youth, when my Dad used to leave me in the car on the forecourt with a coke and a packet of crisps (the ones with the blue salt sachet!) on a Saturday lunchtime. Many years later it became my local and I was also a barman for a few years as well. The beer barrels were kept on wooden racks at the rear of the private bar. I remember the Brickwoods Best (later called Pompey Royal), Trophy bitter (or "boys" bitter to the locals) and Mild was served from here. The more modern Tankard, Guinness and lagers were served from under kegs stored under the counters of the Public and Saloon bars. The pub was "modernised" and is now called the Broadwater. |
