tomski Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Has the decline in traditional pubs had a bigger impact in communities breaking down? Remember going as a kid and seeing most of my neighbours in the local pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted June 25, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2014 My old haunt is now a pile of rubble and they are building houses on it. My other pub connection has been bought by SJM so fingers crossed it stays open for a long tome yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no balls Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Greenwood was always shit, sad to see the Queens will never be the pub it once was but the borough of H does alright for supping establishments. I believe there's a charity day in September where all the pubs are doing something for Derian House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Loads of pubs bit the dust over this way,but every single one was as shit hole that nobody went in. I know it's not relevant as its a food pub,but they opened a hungry horse pub called the iron horse just down the road in Thornton the other week. It took just over £54,000 last week. That is an inredible turn over for a pub that size. JSL Edited June 26, 2014 by gonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you wont see the pub culture of the past as mainstream, regardless of what ever happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think you wont see the pub culture of the past as mainstream, regardless of what ever happens. It's the costs of running the things that's killing them IMO A handful off daytime pisscans early doors stylee and a flurry of tradesman at tea time aren't enough to pay the bills anymore. Sad really but good proper busy pubs only really exist in town centres now where they can be filled with piss pots all day. A massive factor is young folk off into town on Thursday,Friday and Saturday night aren't starting in pubs anymore as the prices in the pubs aren't that dissimilar to prices in town. It's easier and cheaper to get 3 boxes of ale for £20 from Morrisons and get smashed at home before you go out. Pubs need to evolve to survive. Those that don't die.
