One particularly sad loss is the Comfortable Gill on King Street West in Stockport. It’s not sold real ale for ages but that’s not really the point here. For almost 18 years now, it’s been run by experienced licensee Derek Shawcross and his partner Jean, who rescued it from closure and turned it into a thriving community local specialising in karaoke. Derek has, somewhat reluctantly we feel, agreed to sell up to Stockport Council which plans to level the whole area as part of the Stockport West regeneration scheme. The last night was 24 February.
