Trawden’s residents raise over half a million pounds to purchase their local after it was listed as an asset of community value
It’s 6pm on a Thursday in November in the Trawden Arms in Lancashire and the pub is already so busy that the departure of the last bottle of pinot is announced from the bar.
The reason for the crowd? It is the grand reopening of the village’s 126-year-old hostelry and this is a particularly meaningful moment for the residents of Trawden because they bought the pub.
