Geocache Description:

Number 18 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.

A traditional cache in a rather appropriate container, hidden near a former pub

They were once important meeting places for generations but scores of pubs have closed and this cache is a tribute to one such establishment.

The Noah's Ark pub was well named as the surrounding area frequently floods leaving the building completely surrounded by water. Little is known about this once important establishment, just the memories of some older local residents. Sadly the old pub is now largely forgotten

Let's raise a glass and remember a pub that has served their last orders.

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.
