LETTER: Delighted that pub has won reprieve
I was delighted to see that the William IV on Stockwell Gate, Mansfield, has been reprieved (The Chad, Wednesday March 9).
I haven’t been in since the 60s, but always liked the “feel”.
I hope that, like The Railway, it has retained the traditional atmosphere.

Personally, I am sorry that it has been altered so much that it does not merit listing.
But well done the managers and may you succeed.
