The Gladstone Arms was named in honour of William Ewart Gladstone who was prime minister four occasions between 1868 and 1894. The Gladstone Street was built as Gladstone Terrace and appears firstly in the 1871 census for Weeke. The Gladstone Arms was a purpose built pub on the corner of Gladstone Terrace and Sussex Street (the corner away from the modern Record Office). The pub had unusual coloured tiles on the front and was owned by Eldridge Pope. The pub was closed in 1967 and was demolished in 1973 along with the houses in that street with whole of Ashley Terrace for redevelopment of the area including the modern Gladstone Street car park .
