680 Travellers Rest Rowson Street Wallasey
Indexed
Apparently Darcy's is reopening tonight and has been renamed Lacy's...
Lacy's used to be where Peggy Gadflys is now didnt it?
spent many an underage night in there (very early 90s) before going to the chelsea (sometimes in a suit!!!!!)
they were the days!
drinking moosehead lager at 90p a pint!
i remember a great argument in there with the manager, regarding not serving us as we looked like travellers.......i shit ye not !
i know
but the sign says travellers rest and they refused to serve us, even after we politely showed them we were "local people"
Well this is going to get interesting, both Travellers Rest and Darcy's have been knocked down.
Wetherspoons applied to knock it down and redvelop but got refused, they have two other applications (under 3-5 Union Terrace) to develop create links into this building.
As demolition does not need planning approval and the building isn't listed, they do not need planning permission to demolish.
Wetherspoons are now walking away from this development, leaving the site in a holy mess, effectively forcing the Council to give planning permission for anything to be built in its place.
When you consider The Queens is also to be demolished, the Grand Hotel has already been demolished, the Travellers rest is already demolished, the Palace Arcade is to be demolished it looks like any semblence to a seaside resort is to be removed and some monstrous development will take place along the full stretch.
