Does anybody know what will happen to and why the Valentine pub along Long lane is left in that condition of decay and destruction for so long...? It seems to me very strange that nobody has bought that stuff and develop something...
it does. probably a local developer who wants to turn it into the usual rabbit hutch style flats but is having problems raising finance in the current climate.
A couple of years ago a planning application was put in for redevelopment as a pub/bar with extensive roof terrace and outdoor drinking areas on Long Lane. This was rejected due to the proximity to residential buildings.
Squatters have been living in the Valentine almost permanently for years now.
A local junkie OD-ed in there about 2 or 3 tears ago. His body was in there for a few days before it was reported.
The license is still live on the pub I think
