AN ABANDONED nightclub is getting a new lease of life as a 'coffee shop and relax zone'.
The Regent Street building, once home to the Eyre Brothers car dealership, has a long history as a town centre night-spot under names including Japanese Whispers, Regent's Park, Heaven and Hell, Terminal One and most recently Goodfellas.
Work is underway and signs outside show it will open under the new name of the Hotspot Lounge.
It is understood the downstairs area will be a coffee lounge aimed at students, and the upstairs will be kept as bar and nightclub.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
