According to the Derbyshire Times website the company who owned Abacus who were based in Plymouth have gone bust.

Seems your right WCT. Theres been a sign attached to the pub for weeks now which I thought was strange because I thought it was a popular pub & maybe they were renting other space in the building.
Obviously not!

That day I got stopped by that guy it looked like he was trying to deliver beer has I saw the side door open and you could see the steel barrels inside. The Abacus must have closed sudden and no one canceled out the orders oddly what I could see though the windows the bar area was lit up!

The annual rent for the bar is 79.000 pounds a year no wonder the company couldn't make it pay! It will be interesting to see what happens to it will it reopen or be converted to something else its in a prime spot.

Off topic but the Chesterfield Hotel could well end up been a Crown property . The Derbyshire Times have a article saying a Spanish director has resigned leaving only one shareholder if nothing is done the hotel could be handed over to the State its all getting very interesting in Chesterfield!

It doesn't look very hopeful for the hotel does it?  :(

What a shame I had hope that the Chesterfield hotel would be transformed into a place for vulnerable people to go. I never was sure exactly what this would be but was a least hopeful it would be kept going.
Hopefully someone else will come along and take over the venture planned.
