George Elliot Hotel

Nuneatons once popular George Eliot Hotel was the centre of speculation after a notice appeared in the window stating that it was to close on 12th June. As usual, the rumour mongers on social media were quick to take advantage of the non-specific reason for the closure.

Pub & Branch News

12 months have now passed since the sale of the Town Talk in Abbey Green. There are still no signs of the pub reopening despite the agents stating immediately after the sale “that it would be reopening and serving beer very soon.”

Reports on social media and local newspaper have highlighted the extent of vandalism to the Crown Inn in Bond Gate. Having been closed since late February 2018 the pub has been subject to several break-ins and reports are that electrical wiring and pipework has been removed. More recently, nearly all the windows have been broken. The property has finally been secured from further attacks with steel shuttering.
