A group of villagers who ran a property developer out of town in order to buy back and save their beloved pub have reopened it two years after it closed.
Residents in the quaint village of Gussage All Saints, Dorset, were saddened in 2014 when the local pub, The Drovers Inn, went the way of many rural hostelries and shut due to a lack of custom.
A developer then unveiled controversial plans to buy the historic building and convert it into houses.
