A woman who grew up in a pub now being threatened with demolition has spoken out against the proposals to turn it into a supermarket.
She said:"In my opinion, it's the nicest pub in Market Drayton and that's what upset me so much. No other pub in Market Drayton has that garden or fireplace.
"I want it to stay as a pub, really I think it brought so much to the town. Most people think a lot of The Lord Hill – it's a family eating place and a pub."Andrea's parents Gordon and Barbara ran The Lord Hill for 20 years and she remembers helping her dad behind the bar, as well as taking photographs by the fireplace on her wedding day.
"The pub has the best beer garden in town, it already has a commercial kitchen and a stunning fireplace. "The loss of one such facility, against this backdrop, is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the ability of residents to meet their day-to-day needs.""Tesco proposes to invest in the property to create an ‘Express’ store," they say.
