History

[edit]

Formerly known as Wool House, Kinges Halle dates to the 15th century.[1] It was once attached to Poole Museum.[2] It was used as a warehouse and later as dwellings. It is now the King Charles Public House.[3] It was renamed after Charles X of France in 1830 when he landed at Poole Quay while fleeing after the Second French Revolution.[3]

On 14 June 1954 it was made a Grade II* listed building.[1]
