A DILAPIDATED pub that has been closed for over a decade is in the process of being demolished.

Part of the Staplegrove Inn, on Staplegrove Road, Taunton, has already been knocked down.

A metal fence has been put up around the premises at the Greenway Road end.

The pub had been a popular venue into the 1990s, but closed in 2010 after custom tailed off.

Since then the condition of the building has badly deteriorated and it had been partly boarded up for a number of years.
