Video shows the pub well ablaze around 30 minutes ago (around 11pm on 2nd May). Reports state the blaze has now been extinguished.

I’ve passed this spot a few times over the past year and the pub appeared to have recently seen refurbishment.

As a private renter living costs are very high and ads bring in relatively little to the site. I run it alone, and you can support me through Paypal with a one-off or monthly donation here

Another option is via Patreon with offers monthly payments by clicking here

Finally there's the Ko-fi option

Many thanks
