A COUPLE who have run a pub in Oxspring for over 17 years have retired.
Sue and Ron Speed said farewell to the Travellers last week.
The pub has been run as a family business with son Scott in the kitchen, daughter Melanie Parry acting as head waitress and barmaid, while grandchildren Becky and Reece also helped out.
Over the years the pub has also become widely known for its annual harvest auctions which have raised more than £25,000 for charity.
Pub company Punch Taverns is planning to invest £150,000 in the pub and is searching for a new a landlord.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
