Does anyone know who owns the building which was the old KFC in Broomhill

[IRONMONGER]

Message to Phoebe23 the director of both companies is called John Lawson and he is rather an unpleasant person.

I see the KFC sign is no longer there. Is this progress?

 

This whole 'landmark' block in the centre of Broomhill is hideous and would never get built these days. Was it a Poulson job back in the 1960s/70s? It's decades behind what it should be like. Will it ever get upgraded? I'd like to see better facades to the first floor, sort out the stupid zigzag pavement and parking area so that people can actually walk past it easily, make room to sit outside the cafe etc etc.

Agreed, it looks bad compared to the buildings opposite, especially as both the pubs have spruced themselves up.

I was glad to see this unit has been refurbed and is opening soon, not sure what as but it'll be an improvement whatever it is.

 

It's been empty for over a decade, maybe nearer 15 years? Wonder what the story was.

Coffee shop I believe

[greenflash]

I went past today - the sign says it will be a coffee shop, also selling fresh bread, patisserie and deli food, as well as organic skincare products.

 

It'll be interesting to see how they do with Costa almost next door and the Vietnamese coffee shop over the road. I guess they're aiming for slightly different markets.

When it was KFC in the late 90s it was always deserted

 

With their national pricing (c.£4 a meal, now c.£6), they just couldn't compete with £1 chicken burgers and chips from Broomhill Friery and Northern Soul

Usual reply: to find out who owns it, for £3, simply use https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/www/wps/portal/!ut/p/b1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfGjzOKNjSxMDA1NjDwsjM3MDTxN3dyNDUNMjQ1MjPWDU_P0C7IdFQG9k5Tz/
