The Romping Donkey at Hassall Green, Cheshire
Seen from the Trent and Mersey Canal, the Romping Donkey is closed and boarded up. Whether that is due to the ineptness of Punch Taverns, who found they couldn't make enough profit quickly from a remote village hostelry, I know not.
It was originally called The Red Lion, built in the 17th century, and is Grade II listed.
Facebook postings (March 2012) suggest that it has been sold, the windows have been unboarded, and activity suggests it could well be re-opening as a pub quite soon. I hope so.

The former Romping Donkey at Hassall Green
At one time this was one of the best country pubs in the area. Another photo on this site shows it still open in 2010
Image Being a 17th century inn, it is also grade 2 listed (list entry number 1309973) and therefore could not easily be demolished. But in the last few years it has closed and become derelict.

Trent and Mersey Canal at Hassall Green, Cheshire
The northern (left) and later (circa 1830) lock of the pair at Lock 57 has been filled in leaving the original (circa 1776) lock in use behind the camera. Here the surroundings and wharf buildings have been restored and smartened up, probably by the owners of the highly regarded Lock 57 Brasserie.
