The Ship Ashore Tea RoomsThis building was, for many years, the taproom for The Blackgang Chine Hotel, known simply as the Blackgang Tap. It may well have been an unlicensed drinking house during the 17th century, but was certainly operating by the mid 1830s. Following the infamous shipwreck of The Clarendon in Chale Bay in 1836, a Mr. Jacobs built the Blackgang Chine hotel in 1837, to take advantage of the many Victorian visitors wishing to view the bay in which so many shipwrecks had occurred. The Tap continued with its old name until 1963. Its new name was given by the publican's wife of the time, who remembered the coastguards bursting in with the dramatic words 'Ship Ashore'. In the early 1980's the pub was refurbished and remained trading until 1995. The building's structure has changed little since the old days. The central gabled portion contained the Tap and the living accommodation above. The two wings on either side were stabling for 20-30 horses. A local coachman remarked in 1850, about the Tap "it was a miserable underground domicile with damp ground for the floor which gave me the shivers" Today, the lovely stone building has been opened again with a classic re-design to provide a quality tea-rooms ideally situated for both visitors and residents alike. We hope you enjoy our facilities, as much as we enjoy having you with us. |
