Pubs that are closed and need their status monitoring

Search results for pubs that are closed but we need to monitor their status

The pubs below are listed as 'Long term closed' and generally we need to know when they initially closed, and what has become of them. If they have become 'permanently closed' we need to know how (demolition, conversion to shop, etc.) and the date that happened.

A blank date means we need data.

Please submit news to whatpub@shantscamra.org.uk.

Closure comment: Closed 08/03/2022 - lease expired 9th March and publicans had decided not to renew but to retire. Freehold is owned by Wellington Pub Company; we would hope that they would be trying to market this previously thriving pub to new tenants. As of September 2023 the pub is being advertised for sale and 'with scope for redevelopment' though this would require planning permission.

Closure comment: Closed sometime in the 18 months prior to May 2012. Future uncertain as whole block could be redeveloped and many neighbouring properties including the East Street Centre have already gone. The East Street Centre site was going to be a Morrisons supermarket, then an Aldi, but those plans are still in flux. One hopes that in the end something will be built that will provide sufficient footfall for the pub to reopen. (Updated July 2021). February 2024: Planning application 24/00163/FUL submitted for 'Change of use from public house (Sui Generis), to education (Class F2) with associated external works'.

Closure comment: Closed 10/12/2023 after building found to have too many safety defects to continue trading - 'We are sad to inform you that as from close of business on Sunday December 10th The Juniper Berry will cease trading. This is due to the site being deemed as unsafe, due to many electrical defects, asbestos, no heating or hot water and a leaking roof. This decision is totally out of our control, we have only been here a short time but have met some lovely people who have helped us a lot, we would like to thank you all for you custom'.
