There's less than a month to go before a popular Nottinghamshire pub reopens - almost a year to the day it was almost destroyed by a devastating blaze. A fire broke out at the Tap & Run, in Upper Broughton, on the border with Leicestershire, in the early hours of June 11.
Since then, a £1.3m rebuild has been under way to restore the gastro pub, owned by cricketers Harry Gurney and Stuart Broad. The fire was caused by laundry igniting in a tumble dryer upstairs. Flames licking the roof could be seen in neighbouring villages on the Leicestershire border.
Harry Gurney, managing director of The Cat & Wickets Pub Company, said: “We are really looking forward to opening our doors once again and welcoming guests back to the Tap & Run. A large team of people have worked really hard on the pub’s restoration and renovation.
