The Burn Naze
The pub closed in 2019, having seen its trade decline significantly since the nearby ICI closed in 1992. It was purchased in November 2020 by Manchester-based housing firm Mangrove Estates, which had plans to build a block of 24 apartments at the location. Wyre Borough Council received a planning application to knock down the pub, but the application was rejected after local community group Save the Burn Naze Pub campaigned against the demolition. The developer appealed successfully and resubmitted its plans. The demolition plans were given the green light in October 2021. Demolition started in February 2022.
