Re: Ruby and claret pub
Is that on 'Town to't Turf'?
Re: Ruby and claret pub
Opposite corner to Vintage Claret.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
Probably too many pubs in the area, especially when competing with Miners and Royal Dyche.

They've updated their social media today about this afternoons singer so yesterday must have been a one off.

Re: Ruby and claret pub

Re: Ruby and claret pub
Yeah and that one was a good one for Ale quality and footy on the box.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
Not sure what goes in the Talbot these days but something dodgy. Full of smack heads coming in and out. Looks like it still has the bar decor as well.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
What’s the former hotel opposite being used for these days? me thinks it was briefly used for housing some University students a while ago.

They are filming bar scenes in the Talbot for Bank of Dave 2, at the minute.
They got quite a bit of stick for filming in Leeds last time.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
Yep, noticed that myself. I was walking past and the door was open, all lit up, people at the bar, music.
I approached for a closer look and the door was shut on me fairly forcibly.
Very strange.

Try The Swan. Footy on and Wainwrights and Thwaites Original. And cheap.South West Claret. wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 5:57 pmYeah and that one was a good one for Ale quality and footy on the box.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
Yes saw that today, this has been going on for the last 12 months at least though, I drive past there to and from work and there's all sorts going in and out. I thought it was a crack den or a knocking shop maybe.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 6:55 pmThey are filming bar scenes in the Talbot for Bank of Dave 2, at the minute.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
I was walking past a few months ago, some murky looking chaps outside the front door of the hotel suggesting they’d bought it and were turning it into a multi occupancy accommodation………..presumably DHSS. Seems nothings happened since.South West Claret. wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 6:44 pmWhat’s the former hotel opposite being used for these days? me thinks it was briefly used for housing some University students a while ago.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
The Sparrow Hawk that is.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
Sparrow Hawk was bought with the intention of turning it into a ‘hotel’, Burnley Council said they would only approve it if it was a ‘proper’ hotel with paying guests etc., work never began. Make of this what you will.Jimmymaccer wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:02 pmI was walking past a few months ago, some murky looking chaps outside the front door of the hotel suggesting they’d bought it and were turning it into a multi occupancy accommodation………..presumably DHSS.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
yeah it was planned for short term lets/emergency accomodation. Basically asylum hostel. use was denied, it'll go back up for sale soon i imagine. no need for another hotel. certainly of that size

Re: Ruby and claret pub
I wonder if they could turn it into decent quality studio flats for longer term let. Shame to have it just sitting there.
Keirby wants pulling down, but Sparrow Hawk is such a nice looking building it would be a shame to pull it down. I guess they could keep the facade and build something completely new behind.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
A real shame and waste that the building is just standing there unused.
Re: Ruby and claret pub
The Circ and it’s sister bars on Bank Parade have all been put up for sale.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
I don't know what will become of The Sparrow, but it will never be a hotel again, in the true sense of the word. Things might have been different if there was the demand, and it had a large secure car park, but it doesn't.
I just hope it doesn't turn into another dumping ground where councils, from the leafier parts of the country, send their 'problems'.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
Hopefully someone takes it on. I imagine the Inn on the Wharf putting live music on and drawing some of the older crowd up there hasn't helped. Was in there Saturday after the game and the barmaid said matchdays had been a lot quieter.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
The problem at the moment is that property landlords see Burnley as a cash cow, given they can pick up substantial properties for relative peanuts. They then charge the national rate back to the government department and probably get their outlay back very quickly, maybe a couple of years.
This kind of short term rental does nothing for the Burnley economy.
Its time these type of rentals are spread evenly and fairly across the whole of the UK.
The Council seem to be aware that Burnley is a major HMO planning target for out of town investors.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
They are filming Bank of Dave in The Talbot this evening. I’ve just drove past now and there’s quite a setup in place.

Re: Ruby and claret pub
It also won't have helped that only one of the three pubs (the original) was any good with the other two being increasingly grim as you headed down the road, and even that original one was nothing special.
