abe79 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Was in the Wig this weekend, visuals of new bit look really good - can't wait. And outside seating area too! The staff said they are now shutting on 15th June and reopening about 26th/27th. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Apparently, there is talk about many solicitors firms wanting to move out of the square into the new A grade modern offices as they become available across the town. In the square the buildings are all protected and small and not really ideal for modern offices, and they are also very expensive to lease. In addition in the internet age there is no need for solicitors to be in the same area so that their office juniors can deliver documents to nearby offices. I believe there is a chance that the square will be transformed into a wonderful cafe/bar square as the legal people clear off. If so it will be fantastic and be a real asset to the city. Much better than having such a lovely corner of the city the preserve of solicitor's mercs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carborundum Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well if that is the general plans for the area it has to be welcomed .. it owuld look so much better not cluttered up with cars and more like it did look in olden days and if more cafes open yes it would be a really good spot to chill out in - just so long as the council is selective with the type of bars etc - last thing you want is a wetherspoons type culture with people throwing up and doing worse everywhere in this listed charming old square !

abe79 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just got a Facebook invite for closing down on Saturday 14th so looks like it is definately last day trading then until 27th when it reopens bigger and better. I may pop in Saturday to help them "drink pub dry" and have one last look before the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
