Demolished c.1/6/2010. Site is now a care-home. Closed 31/1/2010. Planning Application DC/044596 | Demolition of existing public house and redevelopment for Care Home for the Elderley. Granted 31/8/2010. History: A sad end for what was a large and comfortable pub. Up until the 1990s it sold quite a lot of cask Boddingstons Bitter. Latterly though, it was left to moulder, becoming very tatty with its once proud bowling green becoming overgrown. An interesting footnote to the tale is that in the redevelopment of the site as a care home, the bowling green was retained and restored for use as a public facility. Thus a small but important fragment of the Farmers Arms lives on.
