Historic English Pub Closes!

The Abbot’s Fireside, a pub in Elham, Kent, dating back to 1451, has shut its doors permanently after 570 years. Financial pressures facing UK pubs have forced its closure, and the property is up for sale. The pub, rich in history with royal ties to King Charles II and military connections with the Duke of Wellington, retains original Tudor-era features. Locals express sadness on social media, marking the end of an era for this historic establishment.
