Worker Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Maybe they're just relocating the bar and it's safely stored out the back ready to be reassembled? I hope so.

*Bob* Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Don't worry everyone.. the original features, all eight regulars and the ?8 float have been carefully numbered ready to be re-assembled - exactly as they were.

The original bar has gone and the new bar will be against the back wall, adjacent the men's WC. I don't know if they have salvaged the old bar counter, but they have started setting up an old looking wooden bar counter.In the 'snug' area a wallpaper trellis has been set up, with rolls of embossed 'period' looking wallpaper.The ceiling has been untouched so far. Oh, and loads of tubes of Gripfill (builder's superglue) lying around, so don't lean too much on anything :)Here's a quick sketch, not to scale...

ibilly99 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 TURNING and turning in the widening gyreThe falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity.

Sue Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Blimey! I haven't read that word since Earthly Powers.?It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me.?Somebody nominated it as the best first sentence in fiction.Anyway, back to the CPT, I sincerely hope the Ladies is going to be improved from the one tiny cubicle they had before. If there was somebody standing at the basin, you couldn't get into the bog, either :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21228-a-dark-day-the-cpt-lounged/page/9/#findComment-525604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas thomas Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I spoke to a couple of the workmen the other day. They told me that there will be more ladies loos and that some of the more comfortable seats in what used to be the lounge bar will be put back, after they have been re-upholstered. There are now notices in the windows to recruit all sorts of fancy staff!!! We will have to wait and see!

KidKruger Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 had a peek in this morning, it's actually a lovely open area, the light from the glazed front penetrates right through.there's the making of a bar counter at the 'back' (as you look in from the side) though can't tell if that'll eventually be moved to somewhere else. It look as though they may be re-using some of the features removed from the original partition and bar counters.

DulwichFox Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I had a look in this morning... Just a Characterless Void. Another big open space. No internal walls to absorb sound / noise. Not impressed so far. Exactly what I expected... Prepared to be pleasantly suprised. Not holding my breath.

Hackblade Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Come on, the CPT was a right heap! It's my local and I occasionally went but it wasn't very good. Good luck to whoever is investing money into doing it up.

DulwichFox Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anaglypta was fine when People could smoke in pubs.. Gave the place real character once it had turned brown.. Took about 20-30 years. never needed painting...

Sue Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Don't think anaglypta is the same as woodchip, is it? It's just embossed wallpaper.Very popular in the seventies :))A pain to paint.

I didn't say anaglypta was the same as woodchip, I called it 'posh woodchip' because both were commonly used to cover up walls in poor condition in the 70's...

DulwichFox Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anagypta is actually designed to be painted... Which helped the soot and cigarette smoke to stick.
