Rising Sun

Picture source: Darkstar


 
The Rising Sun was situated at 96 Queens Road. This pub closed in 2009 and is now used as an Indian takeaway.
 
A regular from 1986, very good friends with previous owners. Took the pub on as a 2nd pub in 1994. In 2002 the brewery sold the pub to the heritage group, enforced rules making it next to impossible to earn a decent living from it. In 2000 due to the newspaper shop next door being converted into flats with no sound proofing between us and constant noise complaints from the new neighbours involving a noise abatetment order onto the pub, killing what little hope of it surviving. I sold up and moved to Spain. In the 10 years i was in Spain I'm still in contact with my regulars, usually to go to friends funerals. I'm the only living Rising Sun landlord.
