The Fox and Hounds pub
WORK to tear down the Fox and Hounds pub - which has stood derelict in Abingdon Road for more than five years - has started today.
Workmen are ripping tiles from the roof.
It comes after Tesco announced it was due to start work to replace the empty pub with an Express store.
The pub closed in 2007, and was bought by Tesco in 2008. It was damaged by a fire in 2009 and is considered by residents to be an eyesore on the corner of Abingdon Road and Weirs Lane.
It is not yet known how long the demolition will take place or when the new store will open.
