A BURNLEY pub may have seen its last pint pulled.
The Old Duke Inn, Briercliffe Road, closed in January and, according to property agents, will now probably not reopen as a pub.London-based Paramount Investments said interest had been received in the venue from business people outside the pub trade.
Last October the landlord of the pub was forced to pay a £6,000 fine for illegally broadcasting football matches without a licence. Just a month later a police investigation was launched after a man was savagely beaten outside the pub for allegedly assaulting a young girl.
Paramount said entrepreneurs, property developers and even community groups were taking advantage of rock-bottom pub property prices in recent months.
Pubs come with a type of planning permission which means they can be transformed into cafes, shops, restaurants or offices, often with no need to apply for further consent.
Paramount managing director Mark Greig said: 'As no publican or pub company has stepped forward to save the Old Duke, it may cease to be a pub at all.'
