Something to worry about

The steeple of Aston Parish Church was repaired in the spring of 1936, and then again in 1959. Did anyone see it yesterday?

I saw that.  Also what was that bloke selling in the middle of the road by the Holte?  Was it bags of sweets?!

Slight aside but work on the pub by the villa leisure is progressing well. Anyone know who's bought it ? They are spending a lot on that place whoever it is

Just read up on the King Edward II / Aston Tavern situation. Seems due to a CPO and imminent demo of the Eddy's they are moving the landlord to the Aston Tavern and refurbishing the place with public money. I wondered where all the funds had come from , looks to me like they'll be spending well over £1m on that building .

Is the Eddy's closing or will he be running the 2 pubs now ? Massive investment in the new one , what's it called by the way ? I can remember walking past it as a kid when it was open in the 70's 80's but can't remember the pub name

No, Eddies is to be demolished to make way for a business park. New one is still to be called the Aston Tavern.
