Gloucestershire & Bristol, BERKELEY ARMS, Purton. Since the retirement of the long-term licensee in 2020, the Berkeley Castle Estate have been seeking a new tenant. Concerned that it may be re-developed in an unsympathetic way, the Pub Heritage Group made a listing application to Historic England. It has become apparent that prior to the Historic England assessment, the bar counter and bar back of this rare unspoilt rural pub were removed. The interior will now need to be re-assessed once the pub re-opens.

Lancashire, YE HORNS INN, Goosnargh. Mick Slaughter reports that a new bar has been installed in the parlour bar. It appears that these works have not been approved. The heritage statement submitted as part of the listed building application included for the preservation of this screened bar and parlour room. Paul Ainsworth has submitted a request for a planning enforcement notice to the council. The pub is due to re-open soon, and Mick reports that the works are near completion.
