The last, last orders at village pub
12:10pm Monday 28th January 2008
THE LANDLORD at the Gordon Lennox Arms, Cliviger, called time on the pub for the last time.
It is believed that the pub, in Burnley Road, may be converted into apartments after the Scottish and Newcastle Brewery decided to sell it.
Landlord Pete Whitehead, said: "It is a bit sad because I probably won't see my friends who come in to drink again.
"It is not making any money so the brewery decided to sell it."
A party was held on the pub's final night.
Local customer Cyril Spencer was given the honour of ringing the bell for last orders for the last time, accompanied by his wife Doris.

I don't think the relaxation of the licensing hours has got anything to do with it. It's more likely the smoking ban and the exhorbitant price of beer in pubs. Why should I pay £2.60 for a pint of lager when I can get a 12 pack for a tenner?

Sad day for Cliviger had many a good time in there in my younger days and never any trouble off any one. A warm friendly out of town pub. Good Luck to the Landlord and all his customers here's raising a Glass to you all from Sunny Spain. Cheers.
