People interested in investing in pubs for sale might be pleased to hear of a new opportunity in Lancashire.
The Britannia Inn located in Darwen, near Blackburn, has been put on the market for £160,000 and could undergo a change of use if it is snapped up by a canny buyer.
Its owner, Thwaites, claims the pub trade is no longer viable in its estate, the Blackburn Citizen reported.
Another pub, the Mill Gap, which stood down the road from the Britannia Inn, was also shut down by Thwaites in 2009 and was transformed into a commercial building.
Councillor Brian Taylor told the newspaper: "The Brit has been a popular pub ever since I was a lad and with the Mill Gap shutting across the road it's a sign of the times.
"Because the two pubs were such a short distance from each other people used to go in to the two probably on the same day. It's the end of an era," he added.
