March 5, 200917 yr Passed the Terrier Pub today and noticed a banner up saying they were closing for good on the 8th of March. Apparently the brewery has sold the building and the land and it's due to be turned into a care home in the near future. The question is, will anyone miss it?

March 7, 200917 yr I'm saddened by this.Once over, a pub in a location like that (surrounded by houses and alone) would have done very well!It's a damn shame.
March 8, 200917 yr Last night tonight - £1.50 a pint and it's open until the pumps run dry.Anyone fancy placing a book on the time of arrival/ number of police vehicles to visit the establishment at some point this evening? I will have 10.45 and 6. With dogs.
March 8, 200917 yr Anyone fancy placing a book on the time of arrival/ number of police vehicles to visit the establishment at some point this evening? I will have 10.45 and 6. With dogs.12.10am - 4 vans - 1 ambulance - 2 dogs
March 9, 200917 yr aye another care home for them to close down we got 2 many of them anyway theres about 5 in bedlington aint thereYes, we shouldn't have to put up with all these old folk. Far cleaner to terminate them at birth I say! I'm saddened by this.Once over, a pub in a location like that (surrounded by houses and alone) would have done very well!It's a damn shame.39 closing a week according to a trade body. Something just under six a day nationally. Been going on for some time, but has accelerated markedly more recently. Mr Brown has taxed them out of existence; just like he's taxing genuine earners out of the country. Genuine earners, unlike his friends in the City, who ARE being rewarded for failure!At the current rate all UK pubs will have closed their doors by 2037! A pub-closure tax should fix the situation. One year's turnover averaged over the previous five years. Daft? Of course! But no more daft than taxing tax (VAT on fuel duty)! Or pretending you are encouraging people to save for retirement, and then taxing that retirement money twice over, when ordinarily it could only be taxed once.But folks, remember - it's all a GLOBAL problem. Count the globals. Brown-speak - the more you say it the more true it becomes.
March 9, 200917 yr nah the pubs will all become run by wetherspoons or other like minded people! but to be honest they could shut the lot for me as there to expensive and they stink of !*!@# .
March 9, 200917 yr I think the problem is less to do with taxation than with the extortionate rents the breweries charge the landlords.Back to the Terrier, I heard it was a pound a pint all day yesterday. Unfortunately, I only learned this after I'd spent the best part of the day filling myself with full-price ale at an alternative venue.I'll be honest, I'm only just getting over it.
March 18, 200917 yr Over a week later, still boarded up, yet no one has nicked the Christmas lights yet... come on The Oval, as twockers with penchant for gaudy festive decor, you're letting yourselves down here!
March 19, 200917 yr cannit find the thread about pubs, but i've just heard the Blue Bell is shutting very soon too? Is there gunna be any pubs left in bedlington?
March 20, 200917 yr cannit find the thread about pubs, but i've just heard the Blue Bell is shutting very soon too? Is there gunna be any pubs left in bedlington? Yes, there'll still be several pubs in Bedlington.

March 22, 200917 yr Bell closing, my old man will be turning in his grave he loved a pint there after a shift in the pit
March 23, 200917 yr Author The Bell isn’t actually closing for good though is it? The manager's just giving it up - someone else will take it on surely.
March 23, 200917 yr It'll take alot of money to clear it up back to a decent standard...I'd like to see it done out tho, as with the right management and backing, it could be a good little pub!It was regarded as a damn good drinking establishment many...MANY moons ago!
