Full steam ahead for micropub at Knaresborough train station
In 2017, owners Michael and Barbara Briggs were granted permission to convert the property into housing while retaining part of the downstairs as a micro pub.
However, planning documents state Mr Briggs died in January 2017 and Mrs Briggs struggled to maintain the pub alone.
After three years of trying to market the micro pub, Mrs Briggs decided it was no longer a viable business, and now wants to convert more of the building into homes.
