The jury is out a little for me - whilst I would never encourage that particular chain of pubs - I can't see another supermarket coping there (what with the proximity to the ASDA/ALDI etc), and the building itself is god awful ......
I thought Wetherspoons took nice buildings and ruined them .... I can't see how they could manage to do anything but improve that particular site...
I don't know what type of place a Wetherspoons is but think the last thing that part of Smithdown Road needs is a pub. A cinema would be much better! I'm always being told about an old cinema that used to be in upper parliament street Think it was called the Rialto Cinema
