A dull Winter's day enhances the depressing impression given by this former public house, which closed in 2008. Despite the sign "Under New Management", this is unlikely to re-open, as the Council gave permission for its demolition and replacement by housing. It was the only public house actually in the Ferndale area of the town and despite a petition against closure signed by over 200 people, the Council made their decision. Now that the housing market is in serious collapse, it is difficult to imagine developers falling over themselves to build on here in the near future. Local residents are likely therefore to have this boarded-up eye-sore on their doorsteps for a long time to come. See also Image and Image
