Friends of the Old Library

Walked past it today, poked my head in and the flooring is up in places but a fair few people on site working away

Will they have librarians telling people to sssssshhhhh all the time and will the food be served in alphabetical order or in the order of the country of origin?

I would be all over a Dewey Decimal organised menu of some kind...

 

[Tumble weed]

Wasn't it to be a world wide buffet a few years ago ? , Can't see it lasting, it'll be post house mark 2.

That's conjured up an interesting image on a Friday afternoon.

That was the word I was trying to think of but just kept thinking Huey, Dewey and Louie

 

[Gramaisc]

It has worked - on a larger scale, in a bigger place.

I actually do own a Jayne Cobb hat, and came close to wearing it today as well. It may look stupid, but heck its a warm hat! haha!!

People need to get over the post house. Great upgrade in totally the wrong and clueless hands.

It was never going to succeed, multi use styles rarely do.

Many places have far at lasted what the post house due to better management and having a business plan.

Tarring a yet to be established business venture with a failure is unfair and a little ignorant.

Any business needs a specific goal, theme and clientele aim, something that would never be attributed to the dealings of the foster family and their post house venture

Well said. Whatever it was you actually said.

Well they certainly can't get in to it.

One would have thought it would be better to direct them round it - but there are some particularly questionable diversions going on at the moment, so why not?

O font of no knowledge, can you explain how the do finance works on this sort of place? The old library will need significant work done to fix the roof and the dry rot, to name a few issues the building has. 100s of thousands of quid worth of work. How does one redeem that sort of cost selling 15 quid meals? Please do tell!

From what I saw through the doors every pane of glass was broken in the internal walls, and I couldn't help thinking why? It's almost like someone has deliberately trashed the place.

 

[Pooryorick]

A bit like what's happened to Gayfriars House?

What about Pastiche, The Bear, The Swan, Off the Hook?
All clueless in your expert eyes, no doubt.

The bear - Chris Lewis decided to get out
The Swan - Chris Lewis decided to get out
Off the hook - Amazing fish restaurant, why did they become a backstreet chippy?
Pastiche - Landlord was a twat by all accounts.

Apparently that headline came from a builder on site saying something to a journo or friend of a journo. I reckon he’d just read the forum 2 years ago
