Show Notes
The Cock Inn, a Grade II listed pub in Sibson, Leicestershire, has sparked a community campaign to save it from decay. Over a thousand people have signed a petition, urging the owners to restore this historic inn, which dates back to the 15th century and was a hideout for Dick Turpin. Locals express deep sentimental value, with some recalling family memories and the loss of their village community hub. The pubs owners, Star Pubs and Bars, have done some structural work and are recruiting a new operator. The local MP and council are also involved, with repair consents approved and a meeting planned to address the buildings deteriorating condition.
