The Muckley Corner – latterly re-christened the Old Corner House Hotel when new owners tried to take it upmarket – after standing idle for nearly two years now seems to be in the process of regeneration. No planning permission has been sought for anything, and the whole building is being repainted, some of it in a strident, vivid orange. The upstairs windows appear to have been replaced and curtains now hang there. Anyone got any info? This is a huge site really, and I’d love to know what the new owners are planning for it. I do hope it reopens as a pub of some kind.
Thanks to all the folk on twatter who tipped me off about this, much appreciated. If you know what’s in the pipeline, please do comment on this post.
Not at all sure about that orange. But the building does look nicer. 6:12pm, Sunday, 3rd July 2011.
Lots of work has been done, clearly, but there must be much still to do. 6:14pm, Sunday, 3rd July 2011.
It's nice to see the once-derelict building smartened up. 6:16pm, Sunday, 3rd July 2011.
