Gin Palace?

[Adam Hogg]

Don't tell me, a Leisure centre Malcolm

[Malcolm Robinson]

Now thats just plain stupid talk Adam, this is Beldington!

I have heard the story about it becoming a mosque but don't believe a word of it! I've seen pictures of the inside as it currently is - the place has been completely gutted.

[mercuryg]

Well come on Malcolm, spill!

[Malcolm Robinson]

Merc..........how to take the fun out of things.  Bet you are a put in a corner at anyone's birthday party!

 

 

OK my money is on a food outlet beginning with "N".   

 

 

I would have much preferred Aldi or Lidl but they would have knocked it down to the ground and built their own template shop.  

 

Plus looks like a large expansion might be on the cards to the estate across the road!

No doubt the entrepreneurs will know the full meaning/implications of this :-

NacDonalds?

[Canny lass]

There was me thinking it was Nescos.

[tomtom]

Good grief - if the rumour mill is true,do we really need another food outlet?

I mentioned its new use on another thread here;  it's being converted into a halfway house for ex-offenders.

[Chris88]

Is this of any use in the guessing game:

Or am I completely missing something?!

[keith lockey]

The could turn the mosque into an eatery...then it could be a mosque...eato.     

[mercuryg]

Oh Keith, oh keith, oh keith......

[BigTessi]

I have heard a few rumours about the place but nothing more than that. An Indian restaurant was mentioned and also a sainsburys local. As for it becoming a Toby carvery, was it not a Toby years ago anyway? Didn't think it would be allowed to be a mosque due to the fact that pork had been there?

There are applications stuck to the windows or the Ridge for a licence to sell intoxicants . This is on behalf of the Cooperative . Hope this helps.

[Maggie/915]

That sounds better for local shoppers.

About time we got a little shop down towards the Hasellmere
