Looks like it's the end for the Town fans pre match watering hole.

To be turned into flats.

Could the pub be kept and the upstairs turned into flats?  This would reduce the pubs overheads and make it more viable. Just a thought.

Just the way everything goes around here no matter how long it's been around it will be knocked down and turned into flats unless it gets turned into a flashy new hipster bar. Still never forgiven them for knocking down the Winter Gardens so much history gone in an instant. All that gentrification creeping in.

Just how our wonderful local operates tbh, rip down or destroy everything nice.

This turning into flats can only help one of the poorest part of town get worse but taking away more industry and leisure. But at least it will line someones pockets, and to be fair i dont blame them. Will probably do nicely for the next lot of asylum seekers we take on or should i say economic migrants. (waits for the racist comments). Not Racist just not a lefty flower sniffing tree hugger.

It isn't being knocked down.

There doesn't seem to be the demand for the traditional local anymore. They use to be a meeting place to get together after a hard days graft and put the world to right. Those days are long gone.

The rot started when the government made breweries give up their monopoly on the number of pubs they could own in a town. That gave rise to companies like Toby Inns buying them up. They buy beer from the brewers which they have to mark up to make a profit. Hence beer became more expensive in pubs.
