I’m not sure if anyone was listening, but somebody in charge of the renovation of the former Muckley Corner Hotel clearly didn’t like that shade of tangerine. Last Sunday, I posted the following picture and expressed some surprise over the remarkable shade of orange employed.
Not at all sure about that orange. But the building does look nicer. 6:12pm, Sunday, 3rd July 2011.
It seems there were plenty of raised eyebrows over the tango for the once-lost boozer, with twitter and Facebook abuzz for a couple of days. Fear not though, as when I passed the site today, it seems that the owners have toned it down a bit.
That looks a bit better. Interesting that with a contrasting colour scheme you can see the former hotel's history as a row of terraces. 6:32pm Thursday, 7th July 2011.
Workmen are still busy, and lots of work seems to be ongoing with a new porch arrangement on the front, and lots of work going on inside. I still have no idea what’s going to happen to the place, but I wish the new owners well.
