The Coach and Horses would be a sad loss as it's regulars would then have to find somewhere else and ruin that instead.

We couldn't believe what that pub had become the last time we were in town and about to go in , until we saw bouncers on the door and the clientele trying to get in. ( and others being slung out)

Used to go in there regularly years ago in 70's & very early 80's when it was in the days of Ray ( Till?). He was my dad's old scrumping mate and we knew him well.

What happened to the plan to split the old sports direct into multiple units, and residential on the top floor ? , Noticed the whole lot is now just up for auction.

I don't think that end of the town is a attractive or viable investment for retail anymore

I wonder how much those consultations cost us.
More to the point I wonder how many people actually read them all & if anything came from them

Looking in poor condition ~ pull it down?

Was it named after an English Electric or an English Eccentric?

The service department is still open at stoneacre.
Maybe they have just lost the Peugeot franchise
