An era has been brought to an end as Scotland Road's last remaining pub goes up for sale.
The Throstles Nest pub was once an integral part of a thriving pub community that dominated Scotland Road. On Monday, the ECHO ran a story on how the four-star guest house is now up for sale, but still remains open at this time.
The Throstles Nest is remembered as being part of an epic pub craw l stretching down Scotland Road which once thrived with "a pub on every corner". The pub has been run since 1984 by owner Kevin McMullen, now in his mid-70s, who worked hard to keep the it going despite all the other pubs closing their doors for good.
