BEDROCK Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hello, the Blue Bell Pub on Main Street at Hackenthorpe has been boarded up for months and was initially earmarked for an Indian restaurant but has recently been linked to be a Premier convenience store. If so then when will work begin and the new store be open? Also, I have noticed the Hogshead Pub at bottom of Birley Spa Lane closing a lot earlier than usual and wondering if that will be shutting up shop, I really hope it does as it has been a den of inequity for decades and the whole land around it needs redeveloping! Turning that into a convenience store would be the best move the council have done in years, we need one at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3times6 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I can't see how turning the Hogshead into a shop would benefit the estate at all, there is a row of shops next door to it and they closed through lack of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The blue bell was closed due to numerous complaints, a lot of from an old bloke directly across the road. For example, he would ring the police about the noise the dj was making...police would turn up to find the dj had only just unloaded and hadnt even setup...
