the pub which came back from the dead

The Carlton Tavern was knocked down in 2015, just as work from Heritage England was underway to document the site and introduce it to "listed" status. In the aftermath, following a heroic campaign from local residents, the pub was ordered to be rebuilt "brick-for-brick". And today, in 2022, the pub as it once existed has been opened for a year. 

I spoke to Tom Rees and Ben Martin, who now own the pub, to find out how they're making good on the campaign.
