From 100 metres away it was obvious that this pub was no longer in business. However I thought that maybe the sign was still there. Also no! Checking on Google Street View it looks like the pub was still open in 2018 as there's a chalk board by the door with opening times in Sept that year, though the curtains are closed. The next time the Google car passed by in 2011 it was definitely closed. The sign went well before that, disappearing between April 2011 and November 2015. The building is Grade II listed with a date of "Late C18, mid C19" List Entry Number:1251998 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1251998?section=official-list-entry
