The Second Bombshell was when we heard that The Greenwood Arms was going to be demolished on or around the 27/07/11. This was even before the council planning committee had even had a meeting about the planning application, but there is now going to be a meeting about the demolition issue on the 21/07/11 at Bolton Town Planning. Planning Application 86472/11 if you want to object to Bolton Concil, Bolton Town Hall,Bolton BL1 1RU.

During all this bombing we found out that the renowned bowling green(Lancashire Matches have been played on it),is a protected green space and is in a country wide survey done by Sport England in 2007. In this survey it was deemed to be good, now after no care or attention it look's like this. Not unredeemable but it will take a lot of work and plenty of T.L.C.

Also on a very enviromental note there are House Martins nesting in the  eves of The Greenwood Arms and have done so for many years. Supposedly protected until all the chicks have flown?
