The Lord Raglan, Nangreaves

We tried, and almost made it.

'Without the pub the village is just a collection of houses without a beating heart’ - Manchester Evening News.

So close, we almost won over the Planning Committee, but what swung it was the desire to get a grade 2 listed building back into use as soon as possible. I am gutted, but massive credit to Jim Metcalf who spoke so passionately at the meeting, and the team who fought so hard, and care so much about the community in Nangreaves.
