The 'new' Ten Bells, 2010

[John Bennett]

The Ten Bells has, for the last week or so, been undergoing extensive refitting. Not only is the bar being completely refurbished, but a restaurant and other function rooms are being put in upstairs.

Here's the work so far; new doors being put in where the old victims board used to be..


And a montaged view of the main bar area -


I have been told that the pub would have had this sort of layout back in the old days (ie 19th century).

One of the builders told me that the new-look pub will re-open on Friday. I just hope the loos are sorted out
