Fartown plaque gone : Thu Aug 18, 2016 3:39 pm  

Just driven past,unless my eyes were deceiving me,the plaque has been removed or stolen.

It's probably been removed for safekeeping! Barry Sherman was in the examiner last month asking what was happening to the building. The current owner put it up for sale for 3million around Xmas time but no one has shown real interest-It's biggest issue IMO is the lack of parking.
What a shame!

Think you might be referring to the blue plaque outside the George Hotel there Jools.

This was the one fixed to the boundary wall of the Fartown ground on Spaines Road,directly opposite Wasp Nest Road.When they first fitted it I wondered how long it might be before someone tried to remove it.Could be wrong but from the photo it looks like it might be some type of metallic substitute.Doubt it's worth much.

We await further news on this.
