Just three items this month.

LONDON W9, WARRINGTON. Gordon Ramsey’s second pub – the opening has been 
delayed till the autumn. His first pub venture is the Narrow in Narrow 
Street, Limehouse, E14, and, lest you are fearful of what the Great Chef 
intends, that does still work as a proper (albeit up-market) pub.

HINCKLEY, LEICS, HOLLY BUSH. This Art Deco pub has been closed for some 
time now and there have been concerns about its future. The present 
owner has in mind turning the ground floor into a restaurant. So we may 
lose this as a pub but at least the proposed use could ensure the 
survival of the listed building and, hopefully, its fittings. More news 
when available.

EDINBURGH, RUTHERFORD’S BAR, DRUMMOND STREET. Planning proposal to 
totally remove Rutherford's Bar in Drummond Street by extending the 
Italian restaurant Ciao Roma into it from South Bridge. The pub is a 
survivor from the 1960s with characteristic fittings of the time. The 
application 07/02033/FUL dated 15 May is viewable on
