ABOUT THIS BLOG

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.

For Sale?

Eagle-eyed readers may have spotted that the "For Sale" sign, adorning the pub site for so long, has now disappeared.  An easy conclusion to jump to is that the site has been sold.  However, let's not be too hasty.  This isn't the first time it's happened.  We seem to remember that it fell down during a previous bout of windy weather.

On other other hand, something might well be afoot as the ad has disappeared from the James Du Pavey website.   Sold? Or taken off the market?  We'll just have to wait and see.  As usual.
