What can realistically be done with the old Co-Op?

I remember the disappointment of finding out that 'cliff' in Lincolnshire meant the slightest, indeed barely discernible, slope.

Steep Hill excluded from this I hope. I have tackled that a few times, both up and down, glad I was younger.

As opposed to Steep Hill.

Not Quite As Flat As The Rest of The Bloody Place 'Hill', as I called it.

passing through Shippea Hill in Cambridgeshire on the train I've noticed it to be as flat as a witch's tit.

But did you ever get off the train and go in the pub there before it closed? If you had you would have noticed they were both above the level of the surrounding fen - which is why the railway is on an embankment. there. And I've known some very shapely witches.

No, I never alighted there ( but during 1987 stayed in Brandon and Ely, the towns with a railway station either side of it ).
Known in the biblical sense, Noah ?

No, we didn’t get past a peck on the cheek.
I shall take my best wand next time.

The 1960s then ?

Keeping this thread off topic, and introducing pubs - a post mentioning Brandon in Suffolk in another thread reminded me that the licensee of a pub in Brandon in the early 1970s reckoned she was a witch. Predictions fine in short & medium term but lousy long term. The landlady of the pub in Barrington in the 1980s was always reckoned to be a witch and looked the part, she later moved to a pub in Heydon which was certainly weird enough. Now does any of this give any ideas about what to do with the old Co-op?

I think the only Brandon pubs I've used are the Flowerpot, Great Eastern, Brandon House Hotel, Flintknappers and Five Bells.
