The Draycott Arms

The Draycott Arms, Draycott-in-the-Moors, Staffordshire

A sizeable whitewashed pub prominently situated on a bend on a now-bypassed section of the A50 trunk road. Still appears to be thriving on StreetView. The new road opened in the 1990s so that can’t really be blamed.

  1. They've even reduced the selling price now by a staggering £50,000 but it still isn't getting interest.
    Luckily, the Izaak Walton pub, a quarter-mile away, has recently fully reopened.
    I look after the Draycott website (http://draycottinmoors.wordpress.com), so i'm watching developments!

  6. I've never actually been in the pub, although I did take the photo of it in a closed state. I don't think it's unreasonable for a country pub to close on a winter weekday afternoon, although I agree it would be a good idea to publicise this on the website and on a sign by the door.
