The Seven Stars, Reading

Yep, I went past yesterday and saw it all boarded up as well.. A bit of searching of the Maidenhead Advertiser revealed that it pulled its last pint on February 26th and this 400 year old coaching inn is unlikely to reopen as a pub. I have a soft spot for this place as i used to frequent it many years ago, but stopped going because although the report says that the locals are all upset, as Quinno eluded to below, they were part of the problem in that non locals were not usually motivated to return when visiting whilst the 'English appreciation society' were up the bar. One group I do feel genuinely sorry for are the Maidenhead Folk Club who used to meet here every week in the room out the back will be left without a home
