What's happening with the pub does anyone know?
It's had metal covers over windows and doors for awhile.
Yesterday we noticed wooden covers had replaced the metal ones.
This morning a police van was parked up outside and workmen were putting a large wooden fence around it?
Is it being pulled down?
-
I didn't drive past it yesterday. Typical, rest of the week I do in a morning.
Not heard anything on the ranks :-?

Just seen this on Facebook 'chesterfield pictures' https://www.facebook.com/groups/745500288841733/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/745500288841733/)

Either demolishing it or major work?
It seems to have changed hands quite a bit lately, so maybe no longer worth keeping open.
-
I was on 39's (Holme Hall - Strangewood) this evening and as we drove past, some passengers were discussing it.
I overheard a lady saying that it's going to be demolished to make way for a nursing home.
At least it's not a convenience store ;)
-
Bit of a hazardous place for a nursing home scimitar, it's on a busy main road.
Our senior generation have a canny habit of getting out and going walkabouts!

Not with security keypads on the doors! My recently deceased FIL was in Brimington care home. As visitors, we had to be let in, and out by staff. You get the occasional nutter trying to get in to these places because of the medications that are on site. They have to be secure for the welfare & safe keeping of residents & staff.

Mrs Wolfbanger was walking our pit bull and passed this pub, she noticed a note on the boarding. Apparently demolition is set for the 10th August. Only went in once was ok place.
-
I drove past on Wednesday and the gates were open but it was busy on the road so couldn't really get to see what they were doing.
Shame really another pub bites the dust
-
What I don't get, is that planning permission is in for demolition.
But I can't find out why ???

It's saying Asbestos - if there is enough Asbestos in the building would it be safer to take the whole lot down?
Also I wonder if anyone has taken any photo's of the pub - niche ( RIP ) would have done if he was here
-
The whole building is being demolished OC. Safe removal of asbestos is just part of it.
What I meant was is, there are no applications for anything to be done with or built on the land once the pub has gone.
-
I'll bet there a sneaky plan or two waiting in the background Fly.
-
What Gob Shite Said ;)
-
We don't live far from the Walton, if it helps when taking dog for a walk we could photo it ?
-
I think it helps if folks take photos of all this sort of thing - if only for those that follow us later.
-
Walton, got this when the gates were open .
-
I should have time in the morning for a couple of shots myself. Love the chimney stacks :)
-
Here you go.

Nice brickwork, shame . :(
-
A mate of mine a big photographer so I ask if he had any of the Walton. Luckily he had and was happy to give permission to post it on here. I don't know anything about this pub but it seems a shame it can't be incorporated into any new development instead of flattering it.
-
Should have been listed as a prime example of its style of pub architecture.
-
It's a shame, but it happens.

From what I gather the planning application is in but still time to object to the plans. I agree it should be listed but if the owners got wind of it well you can guess. ::)
-
Great photo's chaps, I never realised how fancy it was in it's brick work, it really is a shame it's coming down!
-
Had a quick look through the D.T and see that Hillcare Solutions LTD have applied for the pub to come down.
Have googled them and the only company I could find was indeed a care home as suggested earlier in the thread.
It said it would be August before they knew if they had permission to demolish it - I hope they are rejected!
