Dist:0.5km<br/>A warm sunny August evening is just the thing for some harvesting. The neat lines are in strange contrast to the flattened pile of rubble left from the demolition of the Jubilee pub - see [[[2553205]]], [[[2553229]]] and [[[2553234]]] for more pictures.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Near the bottom of Rush Hill. At the next crossroads it becomes Whiteway Road which continues to the A4 at Newton St.Loe. Directly ahead on the skyline we have, left to right, Winsbury Hill and Stantonbury Hill ST6763 which are near Stanton Prior.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Well positioned about half way up Rush Hill. An old country inn now swallowed by Bath suburbs. The Rose and the Laurel is the quick march of the British Armed Forces Intelligence Corps. They know a thing or two. The bold red shield under the eaves tells us this is an "Ushers" house.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A large boom delivers concrete to where it's needed - and the mixer doesn't have to get close! See Maurice Pullin's shot [[[882594]]] of 2008, [[[2553229]]] for a shot after the fire and demolition, or [[[2797997]]] for more.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Work at the former Jubilee Inn carries on, replacing the closed buildings that were burned down. See [[[2798019]]] for more.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A large boom supplies the groundworks with lots of concrete, saving a lot of time and effort. The site is formerly the Jubilee Inn. See [[[2798015]]] for more.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The old Rose and Laurel on Rush Hill has now closed its doors. It is up for sale, although the prospects for this old inn seem uncertain in these pressing times. See Maurice Pullin's shot of 2008 [[[878937]]] for an earlier view.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The site of the old Jubilee Inn (and the adjacent carpark) is now a hive of activity. See [[[2798012]]] for more views.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Following the disastrous fire, the structure was too dangerous to maintain and so was knocked down. Fortunately the house next door was not affected. See [[[2553205]]], [[[2553197]]] and [[[2553229]]] for more pictures.

Dist:0.7km<br/>In the small hours of July 12th, a fire broke out in the Jubilee Inn - evidently arson. Having been closed for about two years, it may have been inevitable but the ensuing blaze took out most of both the original building and later extension; the remains were so badly affected, demolition was the only course of action. The pub was put up for sale in 2009, for some £600,000 and the possibility of turning it into retail or a care home. However, new landlords were not forthcoming, and events took a different turn. Compare the picture with that of Maurice Pullin's from 2008 - [[[882594]]]. Also see [[[2553205]]] and [[[2553234]]] for more views of the destruction.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Part of what was once the Jubilee Inn, following the fire that lead to its demolition. See [[[2553234]]], [[[2553197]]] and [[[2553229]]] for an exterior shot.
