A month on from when the pub was
gutted by fire, this weekend the group will hold a “locking ceremony” in which approximately 23,000 bricks that have been salvaged from the site will be enclosed in two metal containers.
Campaigners will place their own padlocks on the containers to ensure the bricks will not be touched until they are satisfied a rebuild is going to take place. They believe it will be the first step in a long journey to getting the famous wonky building rebuilt on the site where it stood for more than 250 years.
