Residents of a market town on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border have shared their sadness at the closure of a nearby award-winning pub, describing it as “awful”. Those living close to the Hole In The Wall pub, a Camra award-winning historic pub in Long Eaton, have described its closure as a real shame - and they've expressed concerns that the former watering hole could become housing.
“The guy who used to run it was there for about 40 years - the closure is awful. It was a nice place and there was never any trouble and it was quite well visited too.” The 69-year-old retiree added: “There are a lot of pubs closing now. I think it would have been nice if it could stay as a pub, it’s a cosy pub.”
