Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I can't imagine that it'd be possible to do that and conform to building code without some kind of special exemption.
Honestly, I'd think that if there's demand for a leaning pub like that -- and I think there is...I mean, I've heard about that thing repeatedly, seen video in it, and I live in the US -- it'd be easier to just build one whose owners want to run one, let them gave whatever building code exemptions are required. IIRC, that pub is kind of out of the way, not really where one would expect to put a new pub, given the choice.
It's a historical artefact, with history dating back to 10 years before the Declaration of Independence.
In cases like this, the order is often to rebuild as it was, even if it contravenes building regs for a new structure, as it's technically just restoring the old one.
They may do some construction with modern materials (for example, using a steel frame), but the finish will need to be the same as it was before destruction.
