Pub transformation
There has been a lot of speculation locally that a certain company is buying the Lord Rookwood to make it part of their chain of upmarket reclaimed pubs.
I happen to know that this rumour is untrue.
In fact, I hear that the intention is to turn it into a branch of Wilkinsons.
Useful as that might be, we already have a branch in Stratford and there is only so much cheap deodorant, creosote, fairy lights and crayoning sets that any one community can possibly require.
Can I make a plea for it to be a Tesco or Sainsbury’s, as we don’t have enough of those in the area?
