Description
As I walked home from my hospital visit, I passed this old public house.
Whilst it was never one of my haunts, it always appeared to be busy and looked quite a nice place which makes it all the sadder to see it boarded up.
Though, these days, our old traditional pubs seem to be in demise - perhaps due to rigid laws, regulation and the prohibitive cost of a night at the pub - mainly thanks to excise duty.
Oh well, that's progress.

Lovely old pile. Sad to see them close.
Makes me sad.
Looks like it was quite nice in its good days, too bad now that it is close, outstanding capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so interesting architecture ! and really sad - that it is closed
Too much tax; smoking ban; and they're no longer the social centres they were in my youth. We've lost a lot up here in Cumbria.
