A roadside village pub that is “To Let” on the 2009 StreetView image, but looking considerably more sorry for itself in the recent photo. Now bearing Thwaites signs, I recall it once being tied to Border Breweries. Despite its English-sounding name, this village is actually in Wales, in the detached “English Maelor” portion of Flintshire.
It has been sadly neglected (closed)and looking very poor but in the last week, something is happening: skips, junk being cleared, builders' vans and the southern gable/wall has been demolished.
