The Ben Jonson Pub

First topic message reminder :

Is no more. Keith has sold it. The new owners, Indian types, are turning it into flats and a shop.

Respect.

No probs.

Believe the New owner is the lad that ran the Lychgate in Standish, Before Holts bought it.

I believe the pub was bought by an asian bloke who wanted to turn the place into flats with a shop downstairs. The council delayed his application for a year because it has to run as a pub for that amount of time before he can change the business from pub to flats. May be nonsense, but that's what I heard
