The former Old Parkers Arms public house closed a long time ago but it was converted into flats. In late September 2015 permission was given to demolish it. The developers lost no time in acting and no doubt in a few days the building will have completely gone. At the moment you can still see what was originally the toilet block, at the far left end. This was single storey, but the rest of the building was two storey. At the moment part of the staircase remains, near the middle of the picture, but leads nowhere. The name of the pub was carved in stone above the entrance door but this part has already vanished. The developers hope to build a group of town houses on the site.
