    ...Thank you for expanding this JacobTheRox. 5x expanded, no copyvio issues, QPQ provided. I really like the hook and it is in the article followed by a citation to a reference that appears mostly reliable. The image is okay. I feel the article as a whole could be more clear and easy to follow. Did it open in the 1700s or 1840s? Did the pub cross the road or another pub opened across the road? One citation tag is present.

@Whispyhistory:.  Done. Please may you take a look. Thanks, JacobTheRox (talk) 10:24, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you dealing with this @JacobTheRox:.... The Historic England web page containing details of the site has been removed. I still can't follow the article. Could the article creator Philafrenzy advise please? Or.. another reviewer may be required. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Whispyhistory: Thanks for the feedback. I have reverted my misinformed cojoining of two citations, copy edited, and wikified the page. If the article still doesn't make sense to you, please may you elaborate as to how so I can try fix it? Philafrenzy hasn't edited the page since 2016, since which the pub has closed. Of course, however, I would be happy to hear from them. Thanks again, JacobTheRox (talk) 15:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
... Removed the unreferenced bit. Hook is verified in article, QPQ provided, and image is okay. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:47, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
