The Bright Side: Villagers unite to save nearly 200-year-old UK pub

An abandoned pub in rural south Wales has been reopened after locals were able to buy, refurbish and re-open their watering hole. A major fundraising effort last year drummed up £200,000 and a rota of volunteers work behind the bar instead of paid staff. The pub’s revival comes as tens of thousands have been forced to close amid changing drinking habits and rising bills over recent years.
