![Tayleur Arms, Longdon on Tern. Another ex-pub, this time demolished.When alive: [[151176]]Richard Law has contacted me with the following information. Many thanks.The Tayleur Arms was demolished in the middle of last year, following a serious fire in mid March. The landlord's family, all their residents and the dog escaped without injury, but the place was beyond repair. There's been quite a lot of talk about it in local press & radio (and the inevitable Facebook page apparently) and the insurers have recently agreed to pay for the rebuild. They hope to be open again in Oct 2015, give or take a bit. by Richard Webb – 02 July 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/05/40/4054020_bf3f0281_120x120.jpg)
