The Clock - Its's Safe!!!!
Hi, just found out the clock has been safely dismanted by its designer, Mr Andy Plant and is stored away in the Arndale!! So at least its not in the Sacred Heart skip Tealeaf!
 Andy has been in talks with the Arndale Centre for months and realised its days were numbered there, so he decided to take it down to help to preserve it. There is "talk" of refurbishing the indoor Market Hall - maybe a place for it could be found there? It obviously needs to be somewhere safe, in premises which are safely locked at night times. |

Supersleuth here!
Well, I must say I am surprised! I thought many of you Accywebbers would be Observerites and might have already read the "Letters to the Editor" page. Seen the article at the very top of the page, re the clock?
Look again at the photograph of the clock .......... |

Perhaps they have also moved that one -- but I wonder how they came to show a photo of "wrong" clock.

Been in the Arndale this afternoon. There is now a fenced off area incorporating where the clock used to be. They have put in a sink unit and a small piece of paper on the fencing says cafe centro.

Why have they made a space for a cafe by removing the clock when there are several empty units around the centre of Accy that would have been suitable? Not to worry - I'm sure someone will think to open a card shop in one of the empty units!

new cafe
Dunno why they haven't used up any other available spaces - but who are we, mere mortals, to make decisions concerning our own town "Ours is not to reason why".

After seeing the cafe being errected all i can say is, by the time that the place is fully fitted out there wont be much room inside.so it will be a quick 5 minutes for a brew and jambutty before you are chucked out to make room for the next customer.

Re: Clock in Arndale
Hi
The aforementioned cafe is now doing a roaring trade[whilst my old Our Price store remains sadly empty!]can't imagine it's massively comfortable having a coffee there as the wind whistles thru the Centre like a hurricane all the time!Maybe we should get a review of it on here;hang on to your "croissant"!I am reliably informes it is run bt the same people who have the Country Larder in the very same centre;talk abut a monopoly on mocca chocca chinos!! {my personal preference is "Soup" on Warner Street!**
