The site has been redeveloped for Housing by the Wrekin Housing Trust building houses on the extensive pub garden. However the pub building itself has been preserved and converted to housing so the building is still there.http://www.wrekinhousingtrust.org.uk/News/happy-residents-move-into-former-bushbury-arms-pub-site |
