The Red Lion, Derrington

I ♥ cryptic crosswords
I have several thousand Rupees two hundred Punts in a secret place, and not looked down the back of the sofa in years

Perhaps a Forum whip round purchase?

Hi all ....

Just an update for you,..
Really sorry to hear that Damien, what a bunch of cu.. s.

Good luck for the future, you obviously deserve somewhere nice where you'll be appreciated - hope that whoever it is, wherever that may be, finds you.

I believe that in the past there have been problems with both foul water and surface water drainage which might cause problems with development of the site. The Red Lion is also registered as an Asset of Community Value but the protected period expires on 2nd March so you need to get the money together fast.

Hi all

Yes drainage is an issue but more an ownership issue... The A CV expired last March.. its value is £300k reduced to £195k I know they will take £160,000 to get rid of it..

And to top it all off enterprise haven't even collected they keys off me I still have them they have just gone quiet and the area manager went off "sick" so who do I contact now ?? Nobody that's right for them.

I know the place well as I have some family in the village.... Sounds a snip at £160k... put me down for a 50% slice of the action.

Hi

Red Lion appears to have been sold to someone who is going to turn it into a house.

All the best

Mmmm, the smell of booze ingrained into the woodwork. That's like doing the same to an Indian restaurant. Aromatic furnishings. :D

It's a shame the Lion has gone but I wish the new owners all the best. Will be interesting to see what they do with the place.
