The Inn has been closed for business for many years now but more recently has been run as the Chinese Delight Restaurant, but that too closed down and over recent years the property has started to become an eyesore on the road into Standish from the North.
Recent debate has been going on around the site and proposed plans to demolish the building and build new housing.
The Inn was finally demolished in January 2019 and the site has undergone redevelopment into residential properties.
After closing as a pub, it became St. Marie's parish Catholic club in the 1970s.
