Counter culture

Thu, Jul 25, 2019

The g Counter cafe and deli based in Wellpark Retail Park caused quite a lot of excitement when it opened back in 2013 and almost instantly found its groove. The pared back, open plan neighbourhood style café, reminiscent of New York's trendy Meat Packing District proved popular right from the start. It delivered a 'Big Apple' dining experience without the airfare, offering an exciting mix of food in a casual and contemporary dining space. Next to the back door of the g Hotel and directly across from the EYE Cinema, it scored extra brownie points with its plentiful free parking.

The Forster Park Hotel

Thu, Jul 18, 2019

There was a long discussion at an Urban District Council meeting in July 1935 about whether to allow purchasers of plots in front of the house at Forster Park, recently occupied by Dr Michael O’Malley, to proceed with the building immediately, or to force them to defer construction until the road along the Promenade had been widened.
