Villagers have spoken of their shock after a popular pub, described as 'essential' to the local community was severely damaged by a fire.
And residents say the pub and restaurant, located on the banks of the River Severn, is the 'hub' of the area.
The fire broke out shortly after 5am, and three fire crews arrived at the scene within 10 minutes to tackle the flames. A witness said that without the crews reacting so promptly, it is likely the blaze would have engulfed the whole building. Mr Taberner, who runs a holiday letting company with his partner, believes the fire could have a knock-on effect on their business.
