PARKWAY & WOOLWORTHS

Oh well, it obviously didn't make sense for Iceland to move into the old Woolies store - seems ours is not in the list of store Iceland are taking over.
Did anyone see Costain 'marking up' in Northbrook St at the southern end, nr Newbury Building Society? Yellow spray paint on the new(ish) block paving. It'll last forever unless it's water blasted to remove it.

West Berkshire Museum

Still no news of the museum. Wonder if some of the exhibits could be displayed in Shaw House? Lots of space, owned by West Berkshire. Makes sense doesn't it?

Parkway Development Newbury









This is how it used to look. Rumour has it 'Iceland' are taking the premises - their current building is going to be demolished so it makes sense.
Hoardings still haven't been erected to site still open to view. Lots of plant on site. Some buildings yet to be demolished.
