This is a unique VAUX Pub Original plan, photo and architectural drawings, signed by Frank Nicholson and Mike Berriman.
Despite developments since its inception the pub is under threat of closure due to current restrictions. In 2020 the current management at the club was potentially leaving raising fears from the community that the site may be sold leaving Thorney Close without a community pub and meeting place.
