The majority of pubs have now reopened after the latest lockdown, albeit still with restrictions. Many pubs currently have temporary trading hours; these are shown where known. We also show pubs we know have still not reopened as temporarily closed.

Please note that due to the pandemic currently being allowed to run out of control, many pubs are having to close temporarily due to staff or customers getting "pinged". Please check with the pubs if you plan to travel any distance.

Lawshall Green Man

Lawshall Green Man

Closed between 1958 and 1980

Folly Ln

grid reference TL 848 570

The Green Man is shown on OS maps at least as late as 1958, but by the 1980 sheet it's marked "The Willows", so evidently closed between those dates.

The building is now almost completely obscured from the road by trees, so our photographer couldn't get a good picture as he didn't want to trespass.

It has also been reported as being in Whepstead, as it's very close to the parishes' mutual boundary. However, as this report from the Bury Free Press** makes clear, it was in Lawshall.
