crookesey Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If the Old Queen’s Head found itself to be in a position that ‘didn’t suit’, you just wonder what might happen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRETHORN1 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 At the end of the day, anywhere that is a popular, well-used, thriving and popular business is much less likely to be closed down than somewhere who is struggling for customers and struggling to make ends meet. Of course it's sad when a local pub or other local landmark closes down for good - but if local people used it more frequently and kept it operating profitably, it would have a better chance of surviving.

Exactly 👍 Look at the state of the Old Town Hall which has been empty since 1997 because of ridiculous conservation rules We're lucky its not burnt down yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
