Douglas pub to close its doors for the last time today

A local pub will call 'last orders' for the final time today.

Okell's Inns have confirmed The Bowling Green Pub on Derby Road in Douglas will close its doors.

Managing Director of Okell's Inns Steven Taylor said: "Despite our best efforts to keep all of our pubs running, the extremely difficult trading conditions we are experiencing have forced us to make this difficult decision."

The Pub, which was built in 1873 has invited its customers to a 'closing party' which will be held throughout the day.
