The Middleton Arms was situated at 303 Queensbridge Road. This pub has been demolished and replaced by a block of flats.
This pub was present by 1847.  It was tied to the Charrington Brewery until 1992 when it was acquired by the Wiltshire Brewery.  It was closed and demolished in 2002.

My grandfather John Henry Noble was the potman at The Middleton Arms. After leaving the pub to go home he was killed by German bomb in 1940.

As a younger man this was where I played for their pool team, would have been middle to late 70's. Can't remember much re the staff apart from Sonia, the lovely black lady bar staff, an absolute lovely lady but dare you get on her bad side she could bark and although short, she had a bite. I also remember the owner, Reg, as a lad I used to give him stick about his suits that her wore, asked which second hand shop he had been to. A really nice bloke, proud of us pool team players as we won the league a few times which meant good money in the till. I'd imagine that most of the punters that I remember have passed by now. I remember playing Pool with international popstar and reggae artist, Eddy Grant many a time, he invited me and a mate to go to one of his concerts behind the scenes, lovely bloke, totally not the mega popstar diva type, down to earth and a good laugh. Shame to see it made way for a block of flats, was a truly happy pub with a totally diverse set of customers who all got on great.
