00:00My name is Paul, Paul Baker. I've lived in the area all my life. I've used this pub,
00:17I would say quite regularly. I started coming here when I was about 15 with my parents and later on
00:25in life when, let's just say my early teens, I used to come with my friends straight into my 20s.
00:31I used to come in on a Thursday, Friday, gang of lads, come out and have a great time,
00:36few drinks, then move on somewhere else. So many memories. I'm 61 now. Like I say,
00:44it's been part of my life. I can't believe it's gone. I'm devastated. It's just such a shame that
00:51something so nice has just disappeared from the land. Devastated. Absolutely devastated.
01:00It's something that, you know, you thought you'd never see. This should have been here forever,
01:07to be quite honest with you. A national treasure. That's what it was. It was a national treasure.
01:11And there'll never be another one like it, even if they rebuild it. It still won't be the same.
01:15I just hope they do rebuild it so that it's somewhere else people can come and see afterwards,
01:20see what it what it is now from what it was before.
01:50So,
01:53you
