I thought this would be just a quick pic of local pub The Sir Winston Churchill, but it seems there's a story. According to the Epping Forest District Council News, the pub is to be knocked down and replaced with something referred to in the title as a "Gateway" (referred to later on as a 7 storey building) Amid scenes of healthy rowdyism, the Development Committee heard councillor after councillor object to the proposals. The proposals were accepted. The developers are to hand over a sizable sum of money. Read all about it on http://www.eppingforestdc.gov.uk/news/2013/12/broadway-gateway-building-approved/ And how the local paper reports it http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/9917742.DEBDEN__Regulars__misery_as_community_pub_comes_under_threat/?ref=rss
