The Old Thameside Inn is an historical pub  known for both its previous use and the location. Previously a spice warehouse, behind which stand the remains of Winchester Palace. The narrow, dark and cobbled road that runs behind the pub is linked to the original Clink Prison. which was burned down in the riots of 1780.  Alongside the pub is a full-scale replica of Sir Francis Drake’s famous ship, the Golden Hind,.

This  full-size reconstruction of the ship Golden Hind was built in the original way in Appledore, Devon and launched in 1973. The ship was created after three years research and construction. The objective of the original Golden Hind  was to find new places and seek opportunities for trade. The captain Francis, later Sir Francis,  Drake, however, acted as a privateer with unofficial support from Queen Elizabeth 1 and she did her fair share of semi-official pirating on the high seas eventually becoming laden with bullion and other treasure  before returning home and delighting the Queen with the hoard which quickly swelled the regal coffers.
