Residents of a market town on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border have shared their sadness at the closure of a nearby award-winning pub, describing it as “awful”. Those living close to the Hole In The Wall pub, a Camra award-winning historic pub in Long Eaton, have described its closure as a real shame - and they've expressed concerns that the former watering hole could become housing.
The Regent Street venue last served a pint in September 2022 and has been sitting empty for the last eight months. It has now been put on the market as a freehold, accepting offers in the region of £300,000.
The traditional pub has "development potential" to become multiple flats or a large house in multiple occupation (HMO), according to estate agents Wallace Jones. But residents have expressed their concerns about any future developments.
