Is that a new shop in there then?I walked through the Guildhall today for the first time in I don't know how long. Well I tried to walk from Crabberry Street to St Mary's but couldn't as it's been completely blocked off. The place is definitely Zombieland.

Bets are offAll that money for 'transforming the highstreet' is tied up in schemes the council claims is commercially sensitive and won't tell us about. Who wants to take bets that money goes to the Guildhall owners.....
They really are clueless how to run a business aren't theyAnyone need a Retail Merchandising Unit?
Could maybe be converted into aviaries.They really are clueless how to run a business aren't they
I think with the leaking roof slowly rotting the upper structure and the fact the carpark closed due to structural issues, I think the whole thing will be pulled/fall down before the current owners decide what to do with it.
Tbh , the structure can't be that safe if sheets of glass just fall from the sky , I'm still amazed no one died. If that happened in the day , it would have been a different story. Not to mention the deafening noise the glass would have made when it hit the floor.I think with the leaking roof slowly rotting the upper structure and the fact the carpark closed due to structural issues, I think the whole thing will be pulled/fall down before the current owners decide what to do with it.
Could well be business suicide? No footfall, people assuming the place is empty etc so I hope they either have a loyal following or are well advertised.Actually went into the guildhall, the entertainer , today.
They said they still have 4 years on their contract and aren't going anywhere.
Thats just being bloody minded, cut a good deal and get out, they are holding up any progressActually went into the guildhall, the entertainer , today.

According to the website - there's also all the shops that face onto Crabbery Street.There's only entertainer, fragrance shop, money exchange and a jewelry place for which I can't remember the name of. Plus the other jewelry and body shop by the doors.
I don't think the ones on the outside count, they are all in Separate older buildings which the guildhall is built around only exception is peccadilloes which will probably have to go once they demolish the market/carparkAccording to the website - there's also all the shops that face onto Crabbery Street.
I'm trying to think of I've ever seen a branch of the Entertainer not in a shopping center...
Progress?Thats just being bloody minded, cut a good deal and get out, they are holding up any progress
