Title: Mansfield Pub Gone
Post by: speewa158 on May 03, 2017, 10:00:46 PM
Tonight in Mansfield the Pub opposite the CFA station has burned down  :'(
Even with the best attention of 8 units its gone  :'(
A Very sad night indeed

My first watering hole  :-[ . 

There used to be a serving hatch in the wall on Highett St where Bullock team drivers could pull up and replenish their supplies without loosing sight of their animals.

A sad day.

Hope no one got hurt, Got to feel for those now out of work, as if its not hard enough already in small communities,  Sad too when a town looses an icon and all its history..
But on a bit lighter note, wasn't there a Swag meet in and around there recently, might have dried the pub out a bit too much !! .

I will walk up a bit later and check again, but went to the Mansfield Coffee Merchant for breakfast this morning. Talked to a police officer I know, went to the Post Office and walked past the Delatite Hotel and the Mansfield Hotel and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

I haven't been able to find anything in the papers anywhere, not even the Mansfield Courier..
maybe the garbage bin out the back caught fire...

Walked past both today and both were trading as usual. No sign of a fire at either.
