The Cross Keys is now in residential use.

This pub has now reopened.

The pub might be demolished to make way for a new home. It has been closed since 2017 and has been vacant ever since. It is in a poor state of repair and has been the subject of vandalism and break-ins in recent years.

The pub was demolished late 2023/early 2024. Prior to this, in one of the newspaper articles discussing its possible demolition, the following comment was attributed to "Sir Arthur Onslaught" - "Alas! If it's history you want then the Cross Keys doesn't have a very good one. Many years ago the entire front wall collapsed - I remember one of the builders told me that when they arrived they were greeted with the sight of the beds in the upstairs rooms complete with the chamber-pots thereunder!"
