In this short video, we unravel the shocking tale of the PUNCH BOWL INN—a former centuries-old, Grade II listed landmark in Hurst Green, Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England. It consisted of a number of independent buildings, including what were originally two cottages and a barn, and a 19th-century extension. The pub was reputed to be haunted by the ghost of a highwayman. The pub closed in 2012 and afterwards stood empty. It met a tragic fate when it was ruthlessly bulldozed in June 2021 without the required planning permission and an investigation followed, leading Ribble Valley Council to instruct the owners to rebuild it.
Across the country, history is vanishing before our eyes. Some landmarks fall by accident—but far too many are erased in the relentless pursuit of profit. How much more will be lost before it’s too late?
