Think so.  Has the main bit of the Goddards re-opened as a hotel yet?  I know most of it has become flats but I thought they were keeping a smaller version as a more basic hotel?

 What the Goddards?  As I understand it,  they're building houses out the back...the old building will become a chain pub, with apparently some element of hotel rooms, 18 in all.

Did some contract work in there and there is an awful lot of refurbishments going on, suggest it may have improved somewhat!
