I was just thinking yesterday I ought to take some photos of the old tesco, because it will all look so different soon, the changes need to be recorded.

I think you could take pictures of half the town centre! Some will change beyond recognition and some will be looked back on as "former glory".

Harry Ramsden have taken an option on the ground floor at the new county council offices

No idea what the restaurant will be called if it's taken up ........

Anyone agree ?
I'm not sure it'll be unrecognisable, it's not massively unrecognasbile from say, 50 years ago, slower destruction back then though i guess.
I would prefer it to stay as is, from now perhaps.

And is it a good or bad thing ?
It is a (very) bad thing yes, i'm sure places like Cannock and Wolverhampton were once like Stafford till, (the posion disguised as a savour) 'development' was brandished.

So,18 New shops then...

Does that include the Gondola station?

And the iconic square glass and brick M & S that people will come from (5) miles around to see

There's a small development going on here, just opposite Bristol Street Motors on the Stone Road, where the old factory was. I can't find any reference to it online - I thought it was called "Sherwood something"?

Now got 11 houses on it.

There is also planning permission pending consideration for 14 apartments on the old Truview site.

I think English Electric rent the site they are on at Queensville

And from what a man in Havana says a good chunk of it is not used for much at all just now...
