Closure of Stamford pubs Melbourn Brothers and St Mary's Vaults is still a mystery
The doors of two town pubs continue to remain shut after their sudden closure.
The Melbourn Brothers in All Saints' Street, Stamford is thought to have closed on August 13 after drinkers were asked to leave the pub.
Since then, people have been left confused as to why customers have not been welcomed back since.
St Mary's Vaults in St Mary's Street, Stamford also closed around the same time.
Both of the businesses are Samuel Smith pubs which operate with a no phone or swearing rules and are run by managers rather than having tenants or leases.
It is not clear if or when the pubs will reopen.
South Kesteven District Council has confirmed the closures were not related to licensing issues and it has not been made aware of any issues related to Covid-19.
The Mercury has contacted Samuel Smith and posted letters to the Melbourn Brothers and St Mary's Vaults but there has been no response.
