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

The Boundary in Pilch Lane has closed.
Attachment 21981
The Boundary has now been demolished, photo taken in its last few days, November 2010. The site is being prepared for construction of a new Health Centre, I believe.
That's a big one as well isn't it?
Yes, there have been a lot closed in the area over the last few years.
Nice photos Joe. Never had you down as a boozer...
You never had me down as a priest either Paul, but I have 238 church pics to 211 pubs on my flickr siteQuote:

Nice photo Lindy.
It's a poisoned chalice that pub. Whoever decides to open it up again will only ever get the scally/druggy clientele that it's always attracted. True story...my sister-in-law's friend won a raffle in the Cygnet about 15 years ago. The prize?...£500 of weed!
