The restaurant was called The Hungry Fox . The fascia badly needs redecorating.....but I am waiting to see some pictures of what it was like years ago when it was a fishmonger's shop in case something of a restoration is desirable..... IF I can afford it !
It is well positioned in the centre of Kington - just four and a half minutes trot downhill from where I live - useful since I dont intend to be a 9-till-5-er so there will be a Kingtonian note on the door with telephone number for when the gallery is not open. In this shot the arrow shows its position looking down the hill with the Swan Inn behind me and the High Street in front.
The inside was like the Marie Celeste - abandoned after just a few months of trading.
Furtherback on the left a fireplace. Note the foxes head on the wall.
And beyond the back wall the restaurant kitchen which I will use as a storage area once the equipment has been removed
and now looking from the back to the front
And here is The Hungry Fox himself.... once displayed in the window....... removed and auctioned before I bought the place !
next lot of photos will be the renovations starting !

I must admit, I'm amazed at all the "handy woman" type work you are doing. Most people would just hire someone. Kudo's for that.
A truly wonderful undertaking at this time in your life.....nothing but big pay backs with this endeavor....
Take your time tho'
