New lease of life for historic parlour
Great news from Leintwardine in Herefordshire, where the Sun Inn has avoided a threatened redevelopment following the death of landlady Flossie Lane, who ran the pub for an astonishing 74 years.
Two local residents, one representing Hobson's Brewery and the other a neighbouring chip shop, have stepped in to ensure the village's famous licenced parlour will remain open for business.
Mark Hansen of Herefordshire CAMRA described the Sun Inn as "a national treasure", adding "If the pub dies, a part of England's soul dies with it."
