Sainsburys buying Fletchers land to build new store - Wadsley Bridge


Recommended Posts

Information gained from SCC planning website.

 

It looks like the final few pieces of the jigsaw are now in place :

 

w/c Sept 10th 2012 - The Site to be boarded off

w/c Sept 17th 2012 - Demolition of The Gate

w/c Sept 25th 2012 - Demolition of The Travellers

 

during October site to be prepared ready for next phase of construction

 

The Travellers appears to be doing a pretty good job of demolishing itself judging by how it looks now.

True.... Me and my brother walked the dog up Halifax Road last night and nipped through Travellers' car park for a quick nosy... complete tip, especially round the back; although the 'beer garden' was always a sh*thole to be fair.

 

Glad there's been further announcement about what's going down though, my Dad works at Fletchers and I've been worried about his job for a while now, and thought the Sainsbury's deal had maybe fallen flat. Roll on the construction!

Glad they're getting on with it. The council website has been updated with new correspondence from Sainbury's agents; sounds like they're doing site investigations for archaeological and environmental stuff.

Have both pubs been pulled down now as I photographed them last year? Thanks
