Decline of Pubs

As we discussed, we mentioned the decline of pubs and how many are facing closure. I found this article by the Guardian interesting as it shows us a number of reasons for the decline of pubs. Once many pubs were shut down, they were replaced with houses, community centres, restaurants and cafes. It also delves into the economy and how many pub landlords could make a huge profit margin if they did sell their pubs. It may be interesting to go into different pubs and ask customers if their local pub did shut down would they miss it?

Many pubs in different areas have been shut down, either to refurbish under a new management or to change into a completely different building, with a different purpose. Will the decline in pubs continue?
