| Its always sad to see a pub close, particularly one that depends on local trade. Having never set foot in the Nelson I don't know how busy it is but according to the brewery it is not making any money. I suspect like post offices and village shops it is a case of use it or lose it. How many pints would a landlord have to sell each week to make a decent living? Does anybody know how much gross profit a tenant gets on each pint these days?

| Believe me - you wouldn't want to set foot in it! Scary stuff.

The Nelson has had a reprieve until the drainage gets sorted out. I heard that they have specialist dancers (from Poland?) in the hall on a Saturday night!

| Rumour (well informed as ever!) has it that The Nelson is closing this Friday (11th April 2008) and the alcohol has to be sold by close of play. So if you want a lot of beer for good prices you know where to walk to! Cheers!

| It would be a real shame to see a historic pub dissappear. It's one of the few integrated back street pubs left. I've visited it a few times over the years and I like its old fashioned English environment. That said I can see the brewery's view. There is no parking so I dare say some residents will welcome it's closure since it must be frustrating not to find a parking space on your street. I hope it survives. I could name quite a few ex pubs in Victorian Horsham.
