Yeh thanks for sharing,

Now Before and After

What a Shame. . . .

OMG i didnt even know about this, i dont live to far from there and didnt smell smoke or nothing.

not even loud explosions

Insurance job no doubt, so we can look forward to more houses there shortly.

big fire. took firemen few hours to get under control. looks that way??? had first pint in there in 1975 some brill times had there over the years...happy days... thanks bud.

Interesting little factoid for you.
Corsair was owned by the same people who used to own Stairways and the Woodside.

no way guys did not know gutted!!

when was that scoops. I went past there 4 ish fire brigade and people with big cameras there fire man gettin interviewed by a reporter... got some pics to put on....

They had all three places at the same time, as well as a few other pubs.
That's pretty much all the info I've got.

The people you are thinking about run and had a good few pubs round here 4 of them i think,Its only been in last 2 or 3yesrs they had it 4 sure. I can tell you the names every manager and people who owned the corsair from day it opened 1970/1 to 2002/3. ONE lived on ford JOHN D.

Yeah that's the guy.
Could be they are being targeted by someone with a grudge.
Pretty sh!tty way of acting though, it affects more people than just the owners
Or it could be they are just really unlucky.

For a minute i thought you were going to say name them.thinking same as you scoops.got guys taking on pubs spending £ to get up and running hard f**kin work hats of to them lads trying to keep pub trade from dieing.your rite it affects a lot of people in many ways.go to be loads of us on Wiki that went in corsair now and then for a jar ..wonder how many did .?? ta scoops

It's been shut and boarded up for months.

I think it was in the way guys (prime land)

Was it really, thats interesting to know.
Hope this is going to be investigated.
Just think the Woodside was on its own which wouldnt make anything else o on fire same as the corsair, and they couldnt do it to Stairways coz theres cameras all around there and its ajoined to other buildings.
