The Golden Hind in Offerton was first opened in 1967. But Greene King confirmed the pub is set to close at the end of the month
Punters have launched a campaign to save a much-loved pub in Stockport after social media rumours that it was set to suddenly shut proved to be correct.
Written in caps, it reads: “Save The Golden Hind from closure. It’s not just a pub, it’s our community hub. Contact Greene King web page ‘contact us’. Thank you Offerton.” Social media rumours started last week Facebook posts about the closure first began to emerge last Friday , with one user writing, “gutted about golden hind closing down for good and selling the land”, prompting a number of others to share their disappointment at the news.
The posts also encouraged people to go on the Greene King website and write to the CEO to stop the pub being closed. Some say they have also spoken to their local councillor about getting the pub listed as a Community Asset to give residents a future say once a planning application for the land is submitted.
“As well the move has come so unexpectedly so we absolutely share the concern from residents. We’ve established contact with Greene King and are keen to work with them and the new landowner to ensure that whatever development comes forward prioritises the interest of our residents.” “When the derby was on the other day, the landlord was walking around to try and find extra chairs, because it’s always full. Some people who live on their own come here and these are the only people they know and only place they feel safe to come to in the community.”
Adam, who paid for the sign outside says the pub, says it means a great deal to a number of people. “You've got the football lads, the older gentlemen who sit in the bay window, the families who eat on the other side, it’s such a mixed variety.
