A derelict village pub that welcomed generations is now closed - but former customers are hoping to see it restored to its former glory.
Located on Alder Lane in Burtonwood, Warrington, the Fiddle I’th Bag Inn has seen thousands from the area and beyond pass through its doors over the decades. The final one of four original place markers laid down in the village and civil parish in the 1840s, the pub boasts a fascinating history and played a core role in WWII with its usage by the UK and US Armed Forces.
During and after the war, the pub was a favourite haunt of American airmen as Burtonwood was home to the biggest airbase in Europe. At the heart of the community, in later years many residents celebrated birthdays, wedding receptions, seasonal fayres and more inside the much-loved pub.
