Can’t see how they will rebuild it to be honest. The original only got into the state it did due to how it settled over the years. That subsidence will cause huge issues for any new groundwork.
Just bankrupt the bastards that did it and put the money to better use in the local area.

Live 5 minutes away from that and if 21000 people bothered to go there when it was open it wouldn't have shut in the first place

Couldn’t agree more. Last time I went there must have been in the 1980s. People have overlooked what a dump it was. Marstons didn’t sell a gold mine

Just need to reenforce the footings then jack it up one side to get it level

I think it'll need more than a "jack up" ;-)

I went there in the late 80's. A brilliant pub that blew your mind once inside.
They had marbles and you would place one at the bottom corner of the window sill and watch it roll upwards! And a grandfather clock that was stood like the leaning tower of Pisa!

If all the CAMRA members who raged about the closure visit when (if) it re-opens and drink 4 pints of Banks's it might survive. But they won't.

Very hard getting anyone out to visit it (see also : Barton Arms in Aston).

That is not really enforcable though is it. A nice symbolic gesture, but in reality, not much in it. The building wasn't (from what I can see) listed. Whether it was arson is a separate matter for the police, but that is a different consequence that doesn't involve rebuilding it.

I think the headlines will appease the locals and those up in arms. I imagine however it will drift quietly away. Bottom line is that it was a dump that no one wanted to go to.
