Look: Nuneaton pub demolition progress so far

Mason Moore and Vaughan Moore | 19 May 2020

HERE on the Hinckley Free Press, we recently reported on a former Nuneaton pub and Chinese restaurant in Tuttle Hill opposite the Judkins tip is being demolished.

The demolition works are being carried out by the Austin Wilkinson Demolition company. As well as operating as a pub, best known to locals as The Crazy Horse pub, or its nickname of ‘The Bonking Donkey’.

In the 2000s, the space stopped operating as a pub and was purchased and repurposed to become a Chinese buffet restaurant named Royal China.

The space is set to become care homes and works have been going on each day to pull down the former pub.

Our Nuneaton and Hinckley reporters at The Hinckley Free Press have teamed up to get down on the scene at the site from the day that work had started from day one to how it is coming along now.

We have attached an image gallery below of the current progress at this moment in time.

We shall keep you notified when the building comes down in its entirety and disappears completely.
