More to the point, the Carlton is barely even in Arbury. Everything on the Metcalfe Road side of Carlton Way counts as West Chesterton, according to a map I eventually managed to google up. I suppose you could argue that since the Carlton Arms is on the opposite side it's in Arbury, but it's not very in Arbury even if so :-)

(Actually I was surprised to find even that - since I get West Chesterton spam through my letterbox, I was expecting the whole of Gilbert Road to be West Chesterton. Goes to show.)

The Carlton was legendary for a year or several as the pub where someone got shot - that was before Terri and Jethro took it over, I think.

The Carlton Arms had a reputation for being a very dodgy pub for quite a few years. Certainly when we first moved into the area we wouldn't have been stupid enough to go into the Carlton.

It was closed down a year or so ago after a firearms incident which had many police, dog units, an armed response unit and the police helicopter in attendance.

Then Terri & Jehro took it over and things got better; I guess that it just goes to show how much the people running a pub can effect it.

That depends on how you define 'Arbury'. Pretty much the whole area between Histon Road and Milton Road (excepting roads that you can only access from HR or MR) is Arbury by the loosest definition, and the tightest is the council Ward of Arbury.

Hmm, we're (just) in Arbury by council ward definition, and I don't think any other definition would extend that far south, so I don't think it's really the tightest.

We've noticed that "real" residents call it the Arbury.

The council ward also tends to move around a bit, making it a somewhat poor choice of definition. I don't think the (bus company definition) Arbury circle is in (boundaries comission definition) Arbury at all...
