SK5274 : Ours Bar and Lounge

taken 6 years ago, near to Creswell, Derbyshire, England

Ours Bar and Lounge
Ours Bar and Lounge
This troubled pub re-opened as a 'community' local last December. Since closure of the colliery in 1991 the pub has had a number of names and owners and problems with clientele. Maybe this is a final opportunity to re-invent itself.

Creswell is an archetypal pit village surrounded by countryside with a population of 5000. Before the pit closed the population reached 6500 shrinking to 4800 but now recovering. It still retains a Bingo Hall.

In the shop I looked into you could only buy a cheap sliced white loaf.
