First visit to @teahouse_stokey. Completely unrecognisable and in a good way. Especially the back. Packed. I reckon they'll do very well.

11 new businesses on Church St in last 8 months since I photographed the shopfronts. Also, 1 closed 1 closing down x.com/stokeyupdates/…

Finally! The temporary traffic lights are being removed from Church Street between Lordship Road and Barn Street.

@clickclackclare @virtualsue @PeteBrownBeer Coach & Horses, White Hart, Ryan’s, Rose & Crown, @AuldShill, @TheShakeyN16 very diverse IMO

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey I 100% get your point, just don’t see how you expect a pub to exist if not profitable.

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey Jolly Butchers was a right old dodgy boozer, fights etc. Good for the community?

@clickclackclare @virtualsue @PeteBrownBeer @teahouse_stokey Apart from spoons, can’t think of many profitable boozers. Can you?

@clickclackclare @virtualsue @PeteBrownBeer @teahouse_stokey well, it is a business after all, isn’t it? if not profitable won’t exist.

@clickclackclare @virtualsue @PeteBrownBeer My point is N16 has that diversity. Do you disagree? Why assume @teahouse_stokey is exclusive?

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer Expecting all pubs to be like @AuldShill is nostalgic, isn’t it?

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer Overall, I think there’s good mix of boozers, mixed and gastros.

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer Ryan’s and Rose & Crown also quite mixed in my experience.

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer @AuldShill Indeed. Same for @TheShakeyN16

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer Pubs that can afford to stay open as a local boozer do.

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer So what’s the solution?

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer can't imagine brewery was too happy seeing it half empty on Fri

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer I can't imagine quiet, slow drinkers is good business model

@clickclackclare @teahouse_stokey @virtualsue @adamdriver85 @PeteBrownBeer I liked it as a quiet pub but wasn't deemed profitable perhaps?

@janeholgate @TheTeaRoomsN16 that'll be great. Thanks a lot!

@janeholgate @TheTeaRoomsN16 I'm aware of two like the one you mean... One more recent from 2007. Other 1996? Saw it online once

@PhilKennedy haven't done an analysis but easy enough to summarise looking at the new 11 ones. BORN and Ribbons & Taylor replaced with cafes

@bnr91 @teahouse_stokey it may not be your cup of tea (pun intended) but personally I think it's a positive addition

@bnr91 @teahouse_stokey you are entitled to that view as I'm to mine. Brewery wasn't happy with the Defoe and pub could have been shut.

RT @hackneycouncil: Stoke Newington High St northbound to junction with Church Street closed due to police incident

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb Apart from Foxtons, WholeFoods, Nandos, FJ Lord rest are indie or very small chains.. 4 out of 110 businesses on Church St

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb I read £40K in context of church street toy shop that's closing down

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb I suspect that low footfall on Church Street during the week may have something to do with it too.

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb I heard from some business owners that trend to shop online has also been a factor in their opinion

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb and here's the north side x.com/historyofstoke…

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb this is what is used to be like x.com/historyofstoke…

@ianrnb @BeckyRLH size of shops is quite small hence boutiques and rates have increased I hear. License type also factor to consider.

@BeckyRLH @ianrnb out of curiosity, what sort of shops would you like to see?
