WETHERSPOON'S is shutting a "fabulous" boozer following a string of closures.<\/p>\n
The Percy Shaw in Halifax, Yorkshire, is set to welcome in punters for the final time on January 7 next year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It comes after the boozer was put up for sale in September 2022 – one of dozens earmarked for closure.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Wetherspoons, which runs over 800 pubs in the UK, said: "We thank our loyal staff and customers for their dedication to the pub over the years."<\/p>\n
They added that staff from the branch have been offered jobs at other Wetherspoons pubs in the region.<\/p>\n
It comes after a number of Wetherspoons boozers have closed their doors to customers in the last few months.<\/p>\n
The Butler's Bell in\u00a0Stafford\u00a0and The Millers Well in East Ham have closed their doors, calling last orders in late October.<\/p>\n
While the General Sir Redvers Buller in Crediton,\u00a0Devon, closed on October 8.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Jolly Sailor in Hanham, Bristol, went "under offer" just last month.<\/p>\n
And The Coronet in London pulled down its shutters for the final time on December 10.<\/p>\n
