NOW: The same location on the corner of Tudor Way and Drake Avenue in Dines Green, Worcester, pictured below in 2024.

The pub was demolished in 2012 after permanently closing in 2008.

The site had become home to a small population of bats and a colony of slow worms which were moved before demolition.

Housing known as Drakes Drum Court has taken its place.
