Its been up longer than the US has existed. I cant see it falling down unless the bastard owners destroy it.
Dude, its just a bar...
So you would rather have a closed replica of a local landmark than to have them build a new active pub/tavern that pays homage to the former business. Okay.
Its a part of our built heritage.
Definately. The community should have more sway than the developers.
I don’t know how the property tax system works in the UK, but here the closed historic building produces minimal tax revenue at best. Compared to a new business with an improved building and income.
Hey numbnuts, was it determined, by fire marshals, to be arson? The Fire could have had an accidental cause, y'know. Either way, historical designation or not, if the structure is determined to be beyond repair, then it MUST be demolished.
Well the owners have been arrested for arson.
I dont think that there are any tax breaks. The vacant land would be worth more if they could get away with it. But they have pissed on their chips now.
Ok, fair enough. But the building is a total loss.
If it's just down to a bare shell like it is, it is structurally compromised. But then again you think you know more than fire marshals and building inspectors.It can be revuilt like the Carlton Tavern.

There is no building. It was totally flattened.
Was it an insurance scam Tommy? if so they belong in prison.

This is great news and a win for people power. These grifters think that their money entitles them to do as they please. For once they have been put in their place.
I am looking forward to having a pint in the rebuilt pub. Cheers !
Its possible. I doubt that the insurers will pay out on it I believe the owners own land adjacent so maybe its part of a bigger scam. Tory bastards.

Yes it's all they think about, those scumbags never have enough money and they don't care how they get it.
They should move to the US.
