Old Neighbourhood Inn ‘sold subject to contract’

The much-loved Old Neighbourhood Inn at Chalford Hill is set to reopen after a sold ‘subject to contract’ sign was spotted on the building.

The historic pub opened in the 1850s as the Mechanics Arms.

The pub closed unexpectedly two years ago – sparking a campaign by regulars to buy it for the community.

A change of use application was lodged with Stroud District Council earlier this year to turn the building into a house.

However, Stroud Times understands the building will reopen as a pub in the new year.
