A derelict Nottinghamshire pub built on the site of an old railway station is being demolished. Pictures from the scene show bulldozers and heaps of debris just outside of The Pullman Pub, in Station Road, in the village of Widmerpool, Rushcliffe.
The demolition was approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council on June 7. Network Rail, which owns the land and applied for the demolition, argued the old pub had become a target, presenting a safety risk to the nearby Network Rail test railway.
The site of the former railway station also comprises of additions made to the site. And after being vacant since 2016, it was considered to be "in a considerable state of dereliction", according to the council.
