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.

Nice bright day in Brixham, Aqarium

Just to say those not in Brixham, its a nice sunny day. Just going upto Berry head to walk the dogs, will take some pictures for you.

Also trying to find out what is happening to the aquarium. This is currently being gutted, I hope its a re-fit, will update as information comes in.

The Battery research centre is coming on leaps and bounds. I was their last night. The traditional rock faced skirt has been finished and the concrete blockwork nearly done. This will also provide a much desired toilet facility, with disabled facilities.

Those of you in King Street will have noticed that the camera crews where out again. The 2 buy or not 2 buy program came to town. The presenter seen walking up king street early on in the week. We will have to find out which houses where looked at. The missed the best one, the coffin house!

Best wishes Paul
