A pub which has stood empty for almost a year has gone on the market for offers in the region of £575,000.
The White Bull at Alston, which sits on Preston Road, between Longridge and Grimsargh, has stood empty since it was closed by its brewery owner, Thwaites, last December.
Now the once popular pub finds itself up for sale and is being marketed by estate agent, Trevor Dawson.

Its listing on the Trevor Dawson website states: “[It occupies] a prominent position fronting Preston Road (B6243), approximately 1.5 miles from Longridge centre within the heart of the Ribble Valley close to its border with Preston borough and the village of Grimsargh. Junction 31A of the M6 is approximately 3 miles distant.
“A two-storey detached former public house/restaurant facility on a generous site extending to 0.95 acre.
“Internally, the premises are predominantly open plan with separate ladies and gents WCs, rear kitchen, main lounge and conference room. The premises are currently stripped out and ready for commercial fit out by the new purchaser.
“The first floor has three double bedrooms, fitted kitchen and bathroom/WC. There is also an attic storage facility.”
Once a renowned family pub known for its good food, as well as home to darts teams over the years, it has had a chequered recent history.
Blog Preston reported last December that it has closed as the tenants were no longer able to trade.
