So what's happened to the Wagon & Horses in Sale since we last looked?

Now for those who remembered the Wagon and Horses in Sale, and for a lot more who passed it on their way to work, this is just an update.

After centuries of serving up happy pints on sad Mondays, and sparkling G&Ts on hopeful Fridays it closed its doors and stood empty and neglected for years.

Andy Robertson began photographing the place long before it caught the attention of the developers and then in a series of pictures last year recorded its swift transformation from derelict building to a demolition site.
And because he does Andy was back last week hoping I expect to see the builders break ground and something new rise from the pile of rubble.

But not so yet, although this may only be a matter of time.

At present not a lot was happening last week when he passed.

Of course that could all change in a twinkling of a builder’s eye.
