It is now "Lapwing Rise"

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Nice pub/hotel, sad to see it go.
Two pictures, one from 1988 when all was well - and one from 2003 when demolition had begun.

So sad that this has gone we had our wedding reception there in July 2001. Think it was near the end as most of the staff were finishing that day, so we seemed to get more wine on the tables than we had paid for!!!
