Geocache Description:

Number 2 in a series of caches to celebrate all those local pubs that we have lost over time either to being converted for other uses such as housing or restaurants, or have been demolished and something else built on the site.


The Cornwall Gate, St Budeaux

There had been a pub recorded at this site since at least c1960.

The Cornwall Gate situated at 71 Normandy Way was a former vicarage until it was converted to be used as a public house. The pub closed in January 2011 and the pub and the land surrounding it was acquired by Select Developments Ltd who successfully placed an application to demolish the pub and build a housing development of 22 dwellings (16 houses and 6 flats) on the site

If you would like to expand this series the pub in question must meet this criteria: The pub must be closed and no longer able to operate as a pub again. Eg. The pub has been knocked down, turned into flats or a supermarket, etc.

The pub does not qualify if it is just closed or boarded up as it can still be used for its purpose and therefore not "lost" just unavailable at present.

If the location meets this criteria please contact The Cooke Family through the messaging centre here https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=e6925df2-b8d1-4661-adb9-1488a3cb414d so that they can issue your lost pub its unique number and add it to the database.
