However, when they replace Betty's picture, I hope they put the truth under it, because try as I might, I cannot suspend belief about her ever being a landlady, I also hope they replace the booths with the same leaded glass dividers, for reasons I have mentioned many times before.bbhildanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-32128871798345469062013-03-21T16:09:51.552+00:002013-03-21T16:09:51.552+00:00Two rooms including a dining room would not be rea...Two rooms including a dining room would not be realistic.

I think the fire is simply Phil Collinson's swansong, going out with a bang. Though I would like the interior layout to change (my idea is here: pic.twitter.com/vV13cZV2), I believe it will remain as it is.

It's on the wall very near the door. All the collages would sadly have gone to ashes too.

Another suggestion would be for the bar to be divided into two rooms, one a dining area where food is served and Betty's photo can hang with pride over the fireplace, and the other a more informal 'lounge bar'. I do think that the back room should be scrapped though and all Grantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-50365885947267577862013-03-21T13:16:44.819+00:002013-03-21T13:16:44.819+00:00I doubt it will happen.

I suspect the flat upstairs has been written out of history (which I am glad about, because it made the pub even more of a Tardis!) plus the back room of the Rovers has so much history. I believe the new Rovers set being built at Salford <i>is</i> a little bit larger - I think it has an extra window upstairs and a bit more width. <br /><br />The trouble is, even though Scott Willisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284196034782356946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-70605926802728760352013-03-21T13:11:51.380+00:002013-03-21T13:11:51.380+00:00If you get rid of the back room altogether, there&...If you get rid of the back room altogether, there'd be no space for St. Ella's Blessing of the Punters.
