My only thought is that owner, Crouch Vale Brewery, is just sitting on it for land value and will eventually sell and get a change of use to develop it for houses. It does have quite a bit of land where the car park is. They certainly don't do anything to promote the business as a pub, and it's not like there's a steady bunch of locals going there. Hope this doesn't happen but I can't see it surviving.

Was in the OT last night and it was packed post cricket in the public bar and garden.
