It was once 'the' local haunt for people to go to
A derelict village pub that welcomed generations is now closed - but former customers are hoping to see it restored to its former glory.
Full of pilot’s uniforms, old books, teddy bears and stuffed carp in cabinets and much more, the Burtonwood pub closed its doors to the public in 2019. But a Facebook appreciation group dedicated to it and a group of determined campaigners are hoping to see the historic pub as they knew it brought back to life.
"It had it’s own character and did it’s own thing, it was very different to other pubs in the sense that when you came in it was a home from home." And now, Mr Barton said residents are hoping to "recapture the community essence" of the much-loved pub that was not only a long-established destination for those based in the area, but from around St. Helens and wider Merseyside.
Cheshire Live previously reported how in 2022, revised plans to breathe new life into the building were given the go ahead, but did not come to fruition. Now, former regulars and residents hope that the premises may undergo a full restoration and reopen as a traditional community pub once more. Should the campaign group’s investor be approved by Trust Inns, they will "be able to begin restorative works immediately with a home-grown core of professionals able to get the site running for later this year." Mr. Minjoot said: "Since the start of our campaign I have been astounded by the level of support and affection for the Fiddle in th’Bag shown in response to this significant building’s plight.
