Important details. One it’s not gone. Two apparently despite current conditions forcing the owner into bankruptcy processings his phone is “ringing off the hook” with interest in buying the business... If that’s just because someone wants to renovate it into overpriced upmarket housing investment assets or to start running the pub again is not clear because this is a tweet in the form of a business insider article.
The building is owned by a stock market floated massive corporation that operates thousands of pubs in the UK. This is just the landlord going bust
The UK is losing thousands of pubs every year due to people not drinking as much as they used to. The pandemic made things worse, I hope things will get better though, I've missed my nights out drinking!
