The name of the place is Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, and there’s a big rooster statue in front. It opened in the year 793.
The owners say they’d been struggling for a while. So the pandemic didn’t do this on its own, but it didn’t help. Rumour is someone else might buy it now though, so it may not be closed for long.
