Brigg Town Council is wasting no time in making contact with the new owner of the Dying Gladiator, who has bought it from a brewery chain. While the pub has been standing empty, and not functioning as a hostelry, town councillors have expressed concerns about the future of the building and particularly its unique statue. Coun Penny Smith raised the issue of the pub's sale at last night's monthly meeting of the Town Council, saying of the famous Gladiator: "He really is in pretty dire straights."
However, councillors were pleased to see the Bigby Street watering hole being taken on by a new owner. Coun Tom Glossop joked: "The Gladiator is not dead, as previously rumoured!"
'Glad All Over' so you now think your one of Dave Clark's 5, Nige, eh?
ReplyDeleteI see there's a block ad in today's ST seeking a landlord/house manager for the pub.
ReplyDeleteWonder if'll come a select wine bar?
