But now the popular hotel, pub, restaurant and wedding venue on the A6 Garstang bypass in Cabus has been demolished to make way for a 66-bed care home.
The 25-room hotel shut on three months ago, with management saying on Facebook: "We would like to thank all our lovely customers for your loyal support over the years.”
We’ve had a look in our archives and dug out some of the best pictures from events held at the Crofters – take a look at them below.
And read the full story of its demolition here.
