The Carpenters Arms was situated at 59 Vine Street. This pub opened in about 1856 and closed in 1954, but not demolished until March, 1976 to make way for the Charter Place development. It is said that the brewery sacrificed the Carpenters Arms in order to give the Pipemakers Arms in St Johns Road a full licence to sell spirits. In the 1861 census, the landlord of the Carpenters Arms is shown as James Fassnidge – his occupation is described as a publican and, coincidentally, a carpenter. The last landlord was Harry Brumm, who ran the pub from 1936 until it closed in 1954. Harry kept a souvenir of the pub, which was a painting made in 1938 by one of his customers on the front of an envelope. The painting showed the front of the pub, with the landlord standing in the doorway. Above the picture was the name Harry Brum and below it was the pub’s address, Vine Street, Uxbridge, Middlesex. With a 1/2d and a 1d stamp, both depicting George VI, and an Amersham postmark, it was posted and delivered to Harry.
