This troubled pub re-opened as a 'community' local last December. Since closure of the colliery in 1991 the pub has had a number of names and owners and problems with clientele. Maybe this is a final opportunity to re-invent itself. Creswell is an archetypal pit village surrounded by countryside with a population of 5000. Before the pit closed the population reached 6500 shrinking to 4800 but now recovering. It still retains a Bingo Hall. In the shop I looked into you could only buy a cheap sliced white loaf.
