I had heard that it is being converted into either one or possibly two retail units. I passed it a few days back and there were workmen beavering away (I KNOW!) but no outside indication as to what it is going to be. I want want want that old pub sign though.

Just wondering if Dolly has managed to secure that pub sign for me yet......

  Sorry P, but each time I go past there , there aint anyone around..
    Why dident you ask the workman what happens to these article's when you were in Blyth, they would probably give you it for a fiver !!
          If I do see anyone around I will ask, but mind the cold is heading our way, and Dolly doesen't
    do cold weather.
                             Fingers crossed, Dolly

I passed the Windmill today on my way to Woodhorn.  Dolly is right - not a workman to be seen.

The good news, though, is that the sign is still there  ;D
