to be honest, when i said "new generations" i was referring to the aforementioned seedling who was throwing some shapes/reaching for the lasers 'pon hearing the sounds of altern8!gon2seed said:Yeah! I must confess to being a musical ignoramus, and while being aware of our towns musical heritage never really dipped my toe in the waters. I did follow developments and was stirred as usual by any mention of 'my town' in venerated terms. Listening again they were pretty bloody good, I remember thinking so at the time, but never really did anything about it, Iwas a miserable old git even then!

yeah, because kitting it out with PS3's, the internet, a kitchen, and 24-hr service will really drive away the smack headsThe article BBC linked said:It will be replaced with a new three-storey building next to the former Eagle public house, a listed building which will be retained and the frontage restored.
Residents in the 12 short-stay study bedrooms with en-suite will have use of communal facilities based in the bar area of the Eagle pub, which was built in 1800.
There will be an internet cafe and IT/television lounge; dining area; 24-hour staff support; a foyer/reception area, office space, and interview rooms, a staff kitchenette and showering facilities.
The Eagle has fallen into disrepair and has been used by vagrants and drug users.
how dare you!!! the eagle was the finest pub in stafford before the likes of the railway changed for the better. it was a crying shame when it closed down, i spent many a mispent evening in there getting gently bollocked by the lovely landlady.BBC said:The Eagle may have been built in 1800 but it's nothing special to look at is it?? Knock the whole place down and put a decent nightclub there is what i say!
I'm not denying that Rich but that was time ago. What i'm saying is that if it is such an important building why has it gone into such a derilict state. Also it's hardly a classic georgian mansion is it? So why the big fuss about knocking it down?rich upsetter said:he eagle was the finest pub in stafford

i get exactly what your saying splew.. it's a long time since it has been a functioning pub, and the shell that remains isn't attractive or of any particular significance.. i'm sure it holds many fond memories for people, but so does Bodmin Park and i wouldn't really care if they concreted that inBBC said:I'm not denying that Rich but that was time ago.
