The future of a once-popular Nottingham city centre pub remains unclear more than one month after its closure.
Greene King-run Via Fossa, in Canal Street, closed its doors for the final time on October 19 after the chain confirmed plans to shut the pub.

“We appreciate this is difficult news to our loyal customers and we would like to thank each of them who have enjoyed visiting over the years.
“We are working closely with our team at Via Fossa to find alternative employment in our pubs across Nottingham, where possible.


“The pub will remain open and trading as usual over the coming weeks.”

When Nottingham World visited the pub earlier this month, much of the building’s exterior had been covered with metal sheeting.


Signs to the front and rear of the pub could be seen advertising its availability.
Greene King runs more than 70 pubs across Nottingham and the surrounding suburbs, including the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Bell Inn and Grosvenor.
