This pub closed in the 2000s and has now been demolished and replaced by flats.

Paul Irving (July 2011)

A housing association bought the property. There was a sustained local campaign to save it, not least because it was a handsome Victorian building, surrounded by quite extensive gardens (with mature trees) in a very densely populated area. The Council made no effort to accommodate local feeling. It was one of three pubs to be closed and demolished in the immediate area in quick succession (the others being The Dove and The Plasters' Arms).
