Pub taken over by new landlord

KEYS HANDED OVER AT MILLBRIDGE INN

- By CARL EVE [e-mail]

THE new landlord taking over one of Plymouth’s most famous venues has been named - and the keys have been ceremoniously passed over.

As reported last month by The Herald, drinkers at the colourful Millbridge Inn in Molesworth Road were left a tad shaken at hearing how the Jerry Eunson, owner of the pub, was set to sell up after running the venue for the past 38 years.

The 63-year-old thanked loyal customers and the bands that had made the pub, affectionately known as the Milli, a landmark on Plymouth’s music scene.

Mr Eunson said that the new operators - Punch Pubs and Co - intended to retain the pub's “ethos” as a live music and sport venue.
