A pub in the centre of Ripon has closed for the foreseeable future.
The Lamb and Flag, on High Skellgate, looks quiet and dark today with the pub garden fenced off.
It is unclear why the pub has closed but the owners, who took over a little more than a year ago, revealed the news in a statement on their Facebook page. It said:
“This decision has not come lightly but unfortunately the Lamb and Flag will be closed for the foreseeable.
“We would like to thank everyone for their support but at this time we will be closing.
“We will update everyone if there are any changes.”
The Stray Ferret asked the pub’s owners why they decided to close and whether it would reopen. However, we had not received a reply by the time of publication.
