Community campaigners, backed by members of the Campaign for Real Ale had launched a last-ditch bid to save the former Blundell Arms pub on Upper Aughton Road months ago, which shut its doors more than three years ago, and turn it into a community hub.
In its heyday, the two-storey pub, bounded by Clarence Road and Everton Road, was seen as a focal point for the local community and its function rooms hosted many weddings, birthdays, christenings and much more
Now the majority of the pub has fallen foul of bulldozers wrecking any lingering hopes that the pub could be saved.
