Takeover Rumours

Not open for further replies.

according to the plans there are two sites both linked to what used to be the colliery railway, one is called the railway stables on the junction of easinkgton street and richmond street
I’ve always thought that stables place would make an excellent “restaurant quarter” as tourist guide writing arseholes would put it.
The Railway Stables for definite. Many uses for this building if the area is redeveloped. If I had the money and the rest of the area was looking to be overhauled I would do something similar to what Canterbury did with one of their listed building (look up the Goods Shed). Currently without anything else in the area to attract people other than matchdays, it wouldnt be a viable option. Id like to see it as a big craft ale and foodhall (Poetic License/Roker Hotel style. But like I say, pointless on non matchdays as there is hardly any footfall

Also... Personally Id try and move the old Doxford & Sons entrance to sheepfolds and use it in the makeup of retaining some of our local history. Its a travesty that its left to ruin currently
This this this.
