Shops near the Plough

[TJ]

Does anyone know what is going to be in the 4 units currently empty nr. the plough?

[riesgo]

nope but whatever it is i think has run out of money. been no action there for a long time.

[TJ]

Time to start lobbying M&S??

[HonaloochieB]

If only the good people of Wimpy open a bar there, then ED will be complete.

[ASR]

I agree. Marks and Spencer should commence negociations immediately! Its about time we had something new and innovative in that area. That section has been dead / non existent for ages.

[Amelie]

It's owned by the Whatmough Trust, I have the address if anyone wants to contact them. Alternatively, Building Control at Southwark might know what is happening.

[HonaloochieB]

As long as it's an eatery that has a Chocolate Bowler as a pudding, all will be well.

[ASR]

Lol I see you appreciate the finer things in life rite?

There was some activity around the back a couple of weeks ago. Not much though.

[damzel]

There's been quite a lot of activity over the last couple of weeks actually, most noticibly a huge rsj which was craned in and is now poking out the back quite some way, which must mean the shop(s) are going to significantly extended at the rear. Supermarket anyone? I hope not, it will make it hard to park down my street.

[Ant]

Seconded, damzel. There could perhaps be room for a small car park back there I suppose. Don't like the idea of all the deliveries though...

[James]

How about one of these?

Margaret and Eric are planning on expanding Le Moulin to a new self service restaurant in this location. The decor will be the same so just as a vampire shys away from garlic crosses and sunlight, i'm sure the middle classes will avoid this eatery like the plague. Hooray for something new and innovative in ED!

*wakes up*

Louisa.

[Keef]

LOL, good one Louisa, although everyone I speak to who has been to Le Moulin has gone back again because it is great.

Alas I don't get to go often as it's far from ideal for vegetarians (Mrs Keef).

[Brendan]

Nice of them to be so accommodating in this respect though.

[Shaolin Wolf]

The construction work starts some days at about 7.30...glad i have a day job in town haha...although they did build a nice new wall for all properties who back onto the site, so swings and roundabouts i guess. We are about to move out of ED end of next month so maybe when we visit again at some point it will all be shiny and brand spanky new and complete :)

They do seem to have done a fine job on the upper floors though - at least externally. It all looks quite impressive from the other side of the road.
