A famous face has thrown his weight behind a campaign to save a village pub from closure as residents look to raise thousands of pounds to secure its future.
The Fishers Arms at the heart of the village of Horncliffe on the Scottish border in Northumberland welcomed visitors and locals alike for 250 years before closing in October 2021.
An ACV (asset of community value) Order was passed in 2018, preventing any change of use of the building - and now the villagers are fighting to buy the premises and run it as a community pub.
