Campaign to Save Local Pubs

We stopped local planning permission.

Reject the planning bid to demolish the Grade II listed building to create dwellings.

Why is this important?

This public house as been the heart of the community since being built in 1928.

Its steeped in local history dating back to Robert Ireland Blackburne after whom the pub is named after.

The links to Orford Manor and the old Orford Hall (now Orford Park) partnership with Warrington Memorial Bowling Green whose Trustees actually own most of the surrounding land and of course the adjacent Playing Fields allotments.

Its grounds is also a habit for protected species such as newts, toads and other wildlife that can be found with the grounds.
