It is now a Tesco Express.

Just looked at the website for James A Baker. It's been sold for �795,000. Tesco time perhaps?
|
Just drove past and its boarded up, wasn't like this at 0530. Tescos destroying another community pub. Why did the council allow it?

From the Bristol Evening Post:
Permission has been given to turn a pub garden in Bristol into a car park � paving the way for the premises to be turned into a Tesco Express store.
Councillors gave consent for the 12-space car park at the Friendship Inn in Axbridge Road, Knowle, at a Planning Committee meeting yesterday, despite objections.
The plans had been revised after concerns about safety of access to the car park.
Councillors were told that a turning area was now being provided so that if the car park was full, motorists could drive out in forward gear.

Signs outside today saying "Under New Management"???
|
Now open and trading. Courage Best was OK, but at �2.60 a pint, I'd want the carpets cleaned - My feet stuck to the floor!

Looks like the Friendship closed on 31st December 2007?
|
This is the last Pub in Knowle West after the Venture Inn Closed in Melvin Square to build flats. Sadly, the future if this place is uncertain as the current tenants have the place on the market, presumably to retire?
The next nearest Pub of this size is the Knowle Hotel near the top of Talbot Hill. The nearest Pub distance-wise is the Park House in St. Johns Lane, but who wants to climb Redcatch Hill after a night on the beer?
|
Probably the most ironically named pub in England.
