Concert Room @ Deal

[Brian E]

The Concert Room (opposite the Green Beret pub), adjoins the Garden of Remembrance for the Bandies murdered by the IRA.
Mysteriously the Concert Room was severley damaged by fire a few weeks ago. In this issue of the Globe & Buster; the developers have applied to further develop the site on the Garden of Remembrance and presumably on the Concert Room.
Is this a coincidence?
I'm interested in your views.

It's a bit like the 'Globe Theatre' - you can't knock that down - it's a listed building!'

'Oh - sorry, we already have!'

My mum and Dad still live in Deal, and the buzz is it was a fix! apparently some 'kids' were paid to do the deed.

Hi Guys,

This is an interesting thread, but being a colonial I am obviously not privvy to the details of what may be going on. I get the idea that something sinister, or untowards may be happening. Could someone please give me the details of what is suspected.

Aye - Andy.

Well, certain parts of the old RM Deal are (were) listed buildings. The area is being/has been redeveloped into 'posh' houses and apartments.

The developers wanted to build on some of the sites occupied by listed buildings. Planning permission was rightly refused.

Globe Theatre - listed building, bulldozed, now houses!

Garden of Rememberance and chapel, listed building and memorial. Wanted to be developed. Permission to develope refused.

Mysteriously burned down!

Get the picture....................

Oh, I forget to say that the Green Beret pub is now the Green Berry pub!

Aye - Andy.
