A POPULAR Bradford district pub has been forced to shut its doors for the last time next month.

The Glen, on Gilstead Lane in Bingley, will stay open throughout the Christmas and New Year period before closing in January.

Bosses say the closure is down to the "ongoing difficult financial climate".

A post on the pub's Facebook page read: "Due to the ongoing difficult financial climate, The Glen will, unfortunately, be shutting its doors for the final time in January.

"We will open over Christmas and New year for all you lovely folks to pop in and have a drink, chat about happy memories of the place and make a toast to old times."
