This popular and historic pub was acquired by its owners in 2009 with a view, initially, to building flats for social housing and then subsequently developing a small housing estate. Local residents opposed these plans from the start.
Planning permission was granted in 2010 after which the site was put up for sale. After many years of inactivity, building work finally started in July 2015. Locally, this was seen as good news. However, the houses have yet to be completed.
The aim of this Blog has been to keep residents informed of current developments and to record the long history of this small community's fight to keep its pub.
Odd that despite the Butters sign that it does not appear on any of the property search sites that they advertise.Could it be an auction lot ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Deadly Davis`s are having a sale realising that they have not made the wisest of purchases.
Lovely to see a photo of the George and Dragon has it used to be!
