The Gypsy's Tent (formerly The Gipsy's Tent) changed its name to The Tipsy Gent but has since closed down.

There is a picture of The Gypsy's Tent in the 70's, an earlier picture of it with the different spelling, The Gipsy's Tent, and a picture of the now derelict The Tipsy Gent here...

Hi, just been walked past this pub this morning whilst waiting to start a training course. Does anyone know when it closed down? Would also be interested to know when the nearby Station Hotel closed down too. Thanks for reading!
