A historic local pub which closed last year due to the "current economic climate" is now 'under offer' having been put up for sale.

The Tipperary Inn has been damaged since it shut last year though, with a garden table now propping up the wall of the porch area.

The sign of the pub is also show signs of ware, having off its hinges at the Meer End pub.

It is thought another crash caused the damage to the front of the building, after a car hit the other side of the building and caused significant damage in June 2022.

Marketed by Savills, the property has been on the market for £1 million.

The windows are still boarded up and fencing surrounds the property.

Described as a "destination country pub" the Tipperary has been shut for a year, with the previous owners confirming last May it would be shutting.

"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the permanent closure of Tipperary Inn," they wrote at the time.

"Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to navigate the challenges brought on by the current economic climate.

"We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your patronage and support over the years. It has been a privilege to serve you, and we are truly grateful for the memories we have shared together.

"While this chapter may be coming to a close, we will always cherish the relationships we have formed with our customers and the community. Thank you for being a part of the Tipperary family."

The Meer End Road pub is supposedly where former resident Harry Williams co-wrote the song 'It's a long way to Tipperary' with Jack Judge in 1912.

The pub, which was built in the late 1800s, used to be called the Plough Inn.
