The windows are now boarded up. Whilst Lewisham has sent an order preventing the pub becoming a supermarket, I'm not sure that there is any compulsion on the freeholder to return it to being a pub. So we could end up with a boarded up building for many months until it deteriorates and not in a state to be anything (except a boarded up building).

A real shame. Some echoes of this in the Old Bank at HOP - the longer left empty, the less likely it will be taken on.
