Villagers love the pub so much they buy their own

The Hollybush public house in Seighford was expected to developed into a different kind of commercial building, but villagers did not which to lose their local tavern and instead agreed to buy it at an auction in Birmingham; However, they believe that the real work is yet to start as they now need to find a landlord as well as raise further finances for the premises restoration; “We own it. Everyone is absolutely over the moon and it is really exciting," villager Michael Carthy told the Staffordshire Newsletter.; "We have paid for the building so there would be no rent charges initially. Our aim is to get it up and running and keep it that way.” Some 19 pledges of support made the purchase possible, including one of £150,000 from a local haulage boss.via paramountmagazine.co.uk
