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.

Merry Christmas - Again

And so, dear readers, yet another Christmas approaches.  This is probably the last time we'll be wishing you seasons greetings as, by next Christmas, the houses will probably be built and the Blog will no longer serve any purpose.  On the other hand, construction work does seem to be taking rather a long time ...

Last time we looked on the SBC website there was still no sign that the provisions of the planning permission had been met.  Whether this has anything to do with building progress, we can't say.

For now, then, a very Merry Christmas to one and all.
