The beloved 'Air Balloon' pub in the village of #Birdlip, #Cotwold, that served for nearly two and a half centuries was demolished to allow for the construction of the multi-million pound upgrade of the A417. What began as two ale houses for our working ancectors died as burden to modernisms plans. No ugly new road or rotten skyscraper is worth a single brick from our beautiful pubs. #RIP
