I'm back again! Lots has happened in Newbury


Sorry I haven't been able to keep this site up to date - a year has gone by and lots has happened - very much 'now you see it, now you don't' in Newbury.
The Broadway has been altered - the Clockhouse is no longer an island and paving has been upgraded - the work continues along to Northbrook Street. New trees have been planted, and new seats around the central pillar of the Clockhouse - wooden, replacing the horrid plastic things - although they had the advantage of being washable!!
The buildings pictured in my earlier posts have well and truly gone - so has the ground they stood on - to be replaced by a huge wet hole! Still, it'll be ok if the pumps keep going.
East Street is taking shape, although behind hoardings. I guess everything has been delayed by the bad winter, but as the retail recession continues perhaps it's just as well.
