now the council want to turn our famous barracks into a fancy hotel . have they no noticed that a lot of berwicks hotels have closed (probably cos theyve no been making a profit ) .so would a 60 room hotel work here ?

As far as I'm concerned this is a non starter.
The Barracks were the 1st purpose built Barracks in the country and EH should market them more the same as the walls coz again they are unique, the walls around Chester get more mentions from them and they small in comparison.
Sorry I forgot they are down south so they HAVE to be more important dont they
Rant over

When the Barracks 1st reopened there was a tea room in B block, ok it was only drink and snack machines but it worked and was used. It was closed down and the machines taken out because of damage and theft, no camera in there, they new who was doing it but couldnt catch the little sods

unfortunately councils can do what they want, // think it may cause a big uproar though, its history they are messing about with
