Did I speak too soon? See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2388008">NY5072 : The Drove Inn, Roweltown</a>. This remote pub, renowned for its good food, was still operating as recently as September 2013 but notices in the windows state "Pub closed until further notice" and "24 hour CCTV recording". Will it ever reopen?
