    All the pubs in our area are still open, with the exception of the Cygnet which appears to have closed. Perhaps we're all just drinkers here in the Swan ('cept me of course).

    The "Brookhouse by me,closed down recently! The manageress said she had to make £5,000 per month,for rent etc,before she could make anything for herself! She had to buy her drink from the landlord(Punch taverns,I think) even though it was available for less,from other suppliers. Seems like these pub companies are just being greedy!! The pub has opened up again,but the place wasn't too busy,when I went,and it reminded me of the "Cygnet",as I knew the guy who was put in there, as a relief manager,but with no great commitment expected to keep the place going,so as posted by Burkhilly,it didn't!

    When did it reopen.

    We had our wedding reception there many years ago.
    I seem to remember that ours was the first that they ever did.

    I think they closed it down after that.......NOT

    The government are looking at beer ties again but my local brewery (Banks) boss claims that any changes will lead to heavy job losses. Seems to me we've already got that anyway.

    It seems they changed the whole system,a few years back,which has led to many pub closures,but I fail to see the logic in it! No pub's,no income?

    Nice one Joe. The Crown used to be a great pub. I thought it had shut a wile back The Leprachaun used to be The Park Hotel, then the Tut and Shive. That was closed last time I was there. The Hamilton used to be a bank.

    This has been called a number of names over the years. It seems to be doing a roaring trade though and is thriving.
