I drove past the Woodthorpe on Coupe Lane a couple of weeks ago.Couldn't lokk to much but there is a building going up very close to it - too close to be a dwelling place I would have thought as it appeared to be partly in the Woodthorpe car park or seating area.Seems strange to build so close to a pub.
I'm starting to think that Marston's Brewery are pulling the plug on Chesterfield as just lately its there pubs that are closing: Goldminers, Crooked Spire closed, under threat of closure Wellington at New Whittington, rumours about Spital Hotel noticed that the Spread Eagle has not been open lately has a note on the door will pop down to have a look. I was in town Monday and noticed that the Crooked Spire pub was closed the windows were not boarded up in fact there were notices on them saying closed for maintenance so thought nothing more. My Mum told me today that it was boarded up I always thought the landlady at the Somerset House had it not sure now unless she has decided to come out of the pub trade who knows I know they have to board up pubs for security reasons but it will look a bit of a eyesore now.
Two Houses OC - built up to roof level - timbers on etc.
Flipping heck!Do you think it's a bit close to the pub? Being higher up in your seat on the bus you will get a better look than I got.I was wondering if they were taking the pub down initially, but looking on their website it seems a lively enough place.
The Sun is back in business, the old Queens Head has seen some activity over the last few weeks. Will it reopen who knows? The Devonshire on Occupation Road, Moor area is now very derelict windows mostly out fate unknown.
