A PUB landlord has reopened his pub’s village shop after it was severely damaged by flooding during Storm Dennis.
Adrian Shaw of the New Harp Inn in Hoarwithy, near Hereford, has reopened the pub’s village shop to support local residents and tourists.
The shop, which provides part-time employment for two people, was severely damaged by Storm Dennis in February 2020 just before the Covid-19 lockdown hit.
The storm also flooded the main pub building, which underwent a full renovation, reopening in August 2020.
The village shop’s wooden structure, which was attached to the side of the pub, also needed a complete rebuild.
MANY Hoarwithy residents will have noticed the bright yellow box that has appeared on the outside wall of the New Harp Inn.
It houses an automatic defibrillator that, when combined with effective resuscitation and a 999 call for help, can increase the potential for survival from an otherwise potentially fatal heart attack in a rural community.
It is there to be used by all the people of the parish in the event of a medical emergency.
