Town Centre Changes

On the plus side at least we are getting a Morrisons, although it will be replacing the Netto currently on the site.....I think it maybe an improvement.
 
Nevermind.

At least H.B.C. has enough money, at least for a while, to fill the flower towers with pretty blooms.

They've still got the million quid bung Tesco gave them. Which they received as part of the deal for granting them planning permission for it's town centre store.

There might be tumble weed blowing past the boarded up shops, but remember, we are a bloomin' lovely Floral Market Town.

I can remember not being able to move in the Regency as it was that packed on a thurs/fri/sat/sun night. It is a shame but alot of people including myself cant afford a night out like we used to ;)
 
Even five years ago, most town centre pubs were busy, especially on Sunday, when they got packed, as people did the circuit.

Looking back over my drinking career, I'm working far harder now than ever before and yet can't afford to go out when I want to.

For me, there's few sadder sights than a dead pub.

Totally agree, I work hard and bring home a decent wage every month but dont seem to have the "spare" cash to go and have a few drinks (well maybe more than a few ;)).
Doesnt really matter at the min as I have other things on me plate but even so I think it is a real shame
 
On a similar theme, please can somebody tell me what this pub was called, many thanks

This is the Regency Bar this morning. Absolute disgrace.

How come shops round here have to apply for planning permission to fit external shutters yet these clowns can just whack up some ugly steel sheets and make the place look like a ghetto ?

Isn't that the Pub that used to be called The Flying Dutchman on Bank Street? was later owned by Daltons Printers!

all Accy has to offer is £1 shops, charity shops & card shops, no wonder no-one bothers with it, I remember a few years ago Grange Lane was chocker with cars on a Saturday with people shopping in town, now there's hardly any cars there on a Saturday, who can blame people, Accy is going to the dogs, quickly
 
I remember being told that, during the war, Winston Churchill, stayed at the Commercial, as it was called then. I also have very fond memories of being a customer and barman there in the long distant days of my youth. Ah heady days, premium lager was 50p per pint then, fags cost around 45p for twenty and you had real difficulty getting anywhere near the bar in any of the town centre pubs on a Friday or Saturday night.
 
Wadey, I dont think that photo on Bank Street was the Flying Dutchman. I was always led to believe that name had been given to what we now know as The Arden pub on Abbey Street. Give me 5 mins to have a quick think.
