Winehouse refurbishment NOW completed

Postby Kintyre Forum News » Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:57 pm

A prominent Campbeltown shopfront has been refurbished, bringing vacant floorspace back into use whilst creating new jobs. Formerly operating as the Victoria Wine, the appearance of the shopfront had deteriorated over the past few years. Thanks to a grant from the Campbeltown THI the shopfront has been fully refurbished with the highlight being the reinstatement of the left hand window.

The refurbishment of this prominent shopfront will significantly enhance the streetscape, bringing vacant floorspace back into use whilst creating employment.

Works include:

Removal of all redundant signage and cabling.

Removal of existing board and reinstatement of left hand window.

Timber repairs to all windows.

Refurbishment of all doors to both elevations.

Redecoration of all elevations including render, windows, doors, and security bars.

Looking good, what a difference that makes. A few nice hanging baskets would just finish it off! 8)

Very impressive shop front display. I think the initiative to smarten up the shops around the town has been very noticeable just in the year + (possibly now a quarter) we have been here. Well done all concerned.

Can't say I'm surprised that someone who expresses their opinions in public about Campbeltown and its people doesn't know the answer to this. *sighs*

The t-shirt wasnt the one given out with the Mok Run. The manager approached Wee Toon Sports and asked could they help supply some running stuff so that he could decorate his window for the Mok Run

Yes, Bush Trimmer, a vaild question and well spotted. I just used the one I took and posted for another thread about local shops supporting the MOKRUN a couple of weeks ago. See viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11917

(I didn't think anyone would notice, but well done. 8) )

I wondered as well why it was in the window when I saw the picture.

The front of the building looks really smart.

Brilliant! What a difference it makes to the Main Street. Campbeltown is looking the best it has for years.
