There seems to be a mystery surrounding this building- formerly a pub called the Churnet Valley, it has been closed for many years and has steadily been falling into ruin. Morrisons (Image) have been expanding their new car park around it, but have left the building standing for some reason. This reason could be that many local people are under the impression that there is a preservation order on it- we shall wait and see. Update: the building was demolished in February 2010, now Morrisons' can expand their car-park and make a new entrance.
