Stratford s Lamplighter pub to be re-named
| Updated: 09:22, 11 December 2020
Stratfordâs Lamplighter pub is to be renamed The Coach House when it re-opens following refurbishment, as part of efforts to give the premises âa fresh startâ.
Lamplighter (43510013)
The 475-year-old Rother Street pub is currently closed for an extensive refurbishment, but is expected to re-open its doors early in the New Year.
However the Lamplighter name will be no more.
Back in September a large section of scaffolding was finally removed from one end of the Lamplighter, as work on essential repairs the gable end were completed.
The length of time the ugly scaffolding was in place saw the Herald receive several complaints and according to Stratford Town Trust, which owns the building, the work was delayed as several parties were involved in negotiations, The Trust itself, the pub operator and the developer of Bell Court.
