It is awful and near the Road, No shops opened yet!!!Planning refused for a take away in the one next to the Blue Anchor.

I have seen it Pink and Red. Funny the first time then I think it bacame a bit tedious. I believe the Anchor was given to the Sea cadets for their HQ, although my memory may not be 100% correct, it was certainly offered to them. the ‘Blue’ Anchor became a bit of a popular target to re-paint in the night.
