Denise Lloyd Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 A PA has been submitted HERE for conversion of the first and second floors of what used to be Goldings into 7 apartments/flats. Although Golding Stores Ltd are named as the applicants they have now changed their name to Charwill (UK) Ltd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylestone Voice Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The ground floor shop area will be reduced in size and all the floors above will be flats. Perhaps Waterstones will be able to trade from just the ground floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Let's hope they reinstate the copper kettle on the outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Lloyd Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ah the copper kettle was that not discussed on here a couple of years ago? Last heard of it had gone to be cleaned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yes Denise, it was discussed quite some time ago now, can't believe it's two years though (!), and it had been"missing" for a fair amount of time even then! Guess it's very shiny by now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILLIGAF Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Correct. Waterstones WILL only be trading from the ground floor, regardless of planning permission above the store. IIRC the kettle is outside the copper kettle at the bottom of Aylestone Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was some covenant on the Waterstone's building that meant the kettle had to be there for x number of hundred years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILLIGAF Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Turn of the century? Mum worked at both old halfrauds (80/90s) before relocation to Holmer Trading Est. the kettle was there then outside bait room window. Everyone owned an Apollo bike then, unless you were super rich and could afford a Carrera or got staff discount!!
