The news comes after locals reported seeing signs at the pub informing of a closure soon. 

Wetherspoons spokesperson Eddie Gershon said: "We can confirm that the pub will not trade after March 26.

"We cannot, as yet, confirm the final trading day.

"There will be no redundancies – all staff will be offered jobs at other Wetherspoon pubs.

"We appreciate that staff and customers will be disappointed with the decision, but Wetherspoon, does on occasion, close some of its pubs."
