'Amazing things happen when community comes together': Calderdale pub hit by blaze reopens today
A Calderdale pub is reopening today following a fire.
The Fox and Goose, on Heptonstall Road in Hebden Bridge, will be back open from 2pm.
Its team have posted: “After lots of hard work from staff, members and volunteers, we are pleased to announce we are reopening at 2pm today.
"Amazing things happen when community comes together. Thank you for all your support.”
As reported by the Courier, the pub was hit by a fire in the early hours of Monday morning and was forced to shut until today.
In an update earlier this week, its team said the fire service managed to largely restrict the fire to the understairs storage area, where the blaze began, but there had been “significant damage” caused to that part of the pub.
The Fox and Goose was the first co-operative pub to be established in West Yorkshire, and is owned and overseen by more than 300 people.
