Nursery sign on boarded window announcing opening 2014. Never coming back now.
15th June 2013 Planning approved to convert to nursery. It's going, shame as it had an amazing view.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Bush
A large and relatively modern pub, the front and rear bars have a distinctly different feel to them. The front area is very much the “public bar” with very limited seating, a tiled floor, fruit machine and a plasma showing a football match that had the volume up far too loudly. There is also a table football game in an adjacent room.
The rear bar is all together much more pleasant being carpeted throughout with plenty of seating, mostly wooden tables and chairs but a couple of leather sofa’s as well. It’s just a shame that the football commentary from the plasma in the front was still a little intrusive. There are also a couple of pool tables in a sectioned off area at one end. A supposedly old advert for “Bridgewater Canal Carriers” with a picture of an old canal barge on it made me chuckle since the marketing person who came up with it clearly doesn’t know the correct spelling of Bridgwater.
The best part of the pub though is the wooden decking at the rear with fantastic views across the city. This is covered and sheltered and so was a pleasant spot even on a wet winter’s evening, although unfortunately this closes at 9:00pm, presumably to cut down on any noise disturbance to local residents.
The only beer on offer was keg Pedigree. Ciders were Blackthorn and Thatcher’s Gold.
