Brixham Seaquirium planned to become arcade amusement

I have just found the yellow posters on the lampost near by from the planning office, that the Seaquirium is to be coneverted, or its planned for this to happen, to an amusement arcade. I dont know if the current owner is Mr Pope, From Popes Electrics, but I have asked Liz Phillips of the Herald and the curator of the Heritage Museum to inquire to what is going to happen to the historic signage, the model of the trawler, the balck and white historic photographs and the old octopus with the moving legs, which I was told was stored upstairs.

All the tanks have been emptied and the massive concrete structures that held them demolished. The skip outside is full of the contents of this 'old world' attraction that has been the fabric of Brixham, for so long. With the interest in the natural world this surely was an untapped potential, which alligned so well with what makes Brixham Brixham.
