Work has begun to demolish the historic Three Horseshoes pub in Killinghall.
The pub has stood on the site for 150 years but closed in September and will make way for a new Tesco Express supermarket and four flats.
When plans were first submitted in 2019, a petition was launched by residents to try to save the building.
It was signed by 124 people who agreed that to lose the pub would be a “travesty”. The petition read:
“The Three Horseshoes is the hub of our community and plays an important part of bringing people together.”
However, there were also many people who submitted comments to the council in favour of the redevelopment.
One person wrote:
“We have been without a grocery or convenience shop for many years which has been to the detriment of the community.”
Anna, who runs the Killinghall Village Community Facebook page, shared photos of the demolition with us.
