Barclays Bank Building

Has it now been sold?

[Brett]

I don't think it has been sold but I do remember someone saying that there is a new tenant due to move in there but they couldn't say who the tenant was or the premise of the business.

Figured when they replaced the sash where the old cash machine was that it was the case.

[tomtom]

Well that's a bit of OK news - I had a thought that if it wasn't sold it would end up as yet another eyesore that we seem to suffer in Bedlington.

It was never up For Sale, it was To Let, there is someone in there apparently but what kind of business, i have no clue. But we have lost a great business Now, Valley Jewellers is now closed and has a To Let sign in the window.

Going with the current theme of businesses in Bedlington, it's going to be either a hairdressers, florists, solicitors or coffee shop, IMO anyway

I inquired as to the availability of the premises last year and was told the new tenants were not retail, but in professional services. Whether that is still the case I am unsure.

I hope it is a Good Business and not any of these we have enough of them in Bedlington, we need something like a clothes shop but not second hand rubbish, have enough of that at the "Market".

True Adam, I forgot to add on estate agents.

What market !!! If I did that to the Market place every Thursday I'd get locked up for fly tipping.

Well Keith, everyone does it: old prams, clothes, bags, fridges, the list is endless, would not be suprised if one day somebody goes down and their selling one of the old LDV's or Fords, they drive onto the market place with to unload the second kett.

After a quick chat with one of the work men today on my way past apparently it is being turned into commercial offices. Not sure if these are like the enterprise park rent-a-space offices or offices for one company.
