SHREWSBURY, LOGGERHEADS. Currently closed and scaffolded, Peter Davies 
advises, for external structural repairs. Believed to have nothing to do 
with the interior. Likely to remain closed for three months or more.

WORCESTER, PAUL PRY. John Clarke, catching up with his Morning 
Advertisers, advises that this pub is up for sale freehold, described as 
‘a closed pub’. (Not currently listed on the NI because of its closed 
status).

MANCHESTER, CIRCUS TAVERN. John also notes that the MA carries another 
advertisement for the Circus Tavern. This time it’s not priced at £100K 
but ‘offers invited’.

HAY-ON-WYE, THREE TUNS. Andrew Davison reports: ‘still closed, but 
notices suggest that it is due to reopen in a few weeks’ time and also 
that the emphasis will be on food. Work is certainly going on apace – 
the exterior has well repaired and looks very attractive. We will have 
to wait until the pub reopens to see whether we can retain it on the NI. 
However, at the time of my visit the interior had been entirely stripped 
out. Of course, everything may be repaired and returned to its original 
position.’ We’ll have to see.

WHAT’S BREWING MISTAKE. To confuse us all WB July (p.5, col.1) tells us 
that the Buck at Rumburgh, Suffolk is NI-listed. It isn’t - which the 
correspondent to Swift Halves would have known if s/he had consulted the 
lists in the GBG or the East Anglian Regional Inventory.
