I see the old bank premises in the High Street has arrived on Rightmove for sale or let. There's a money pit !! POA I presume the owners have enjoyed Loyds rent for decades and been left with a white elephant. Oriiginally built as a house, it may well suit someone with deep pockets. Be good to see it refurbished.

There are chefs in London who would love to open a Michelin-starred restaurant here and use the side area for a delicatessen. The plan is to put luxury flats above. Wouldn't this help put Lewes on the map?

The trouble with the Rainbow was that it had loyalty from people to how it had been; the Lloyds building wouldn't have that legacy to contend with. But I don't think Lewes itself has much demand for top-end food at top-end prices, although if somewhere is really good there'll be enough of a catchment area for it to succeed. Don't know if it's because people are too mean here, don't have enough disposable income left over after paying the large mortgages, too many toddlers, think they can do better at home in their fancy kitchens, or what...

Hmmm. Wonder if they could turn it into a Post Office? With a couple of flats above at a price that local people could afford...... oh was that a pig flying over the Castle.

As a Post Office the Lloyds Bank building would, like its predecessor, be at the wrong end of town for the convenience of most people.

Perhaps an Antique shop or even a hairdressers, also
another coffee shop would also be useless

I like The Grange Gardens, and the way the teashop has the most odd mixture of china from the charity shops
