Villagers in Cossall have shared their memories of its only pub which could be knocked down as plans proposed to demolish it and build houses. The Gardeners Inn, in Cossall, near Ilkeston, closed and was boarded up after the landlady’s lease expired in February.
Landlady Sue Maxwell recently told Nottinghamshire Live that she is ‘gutted’ about the plans to knock it down. Proposals have now been submitted to Broxtowe Borough Council to replace the pub with five detached houses.
We spoke to Cossall residents who shared their memories of The Gardeners Inn and said that ‘it’s a shame’ to see it go. Daniel Winter, 31, manager at Trinity Farm Shop and Cafe, on Awsworth Lane, said he grew up going to The Gardeners Inn with his family.
