How is The Arc these days? I used to frequent this place when I was 17-18. I went to The Boys Club before I was old enough for pubs, I'm guessing it shut down a long time ago?
I know about this; trust me, I would never confuse a Conservative Club burning down. But, I thought The Crown was seriously damaged and then became a commercial property? It's the pub which was opposite C+E Sports right?
I went down there a few years back and it was a sorry state. All of the buildings which housed the cafe/shop, amusement arcade (and a museum?) had been removed and the beach was fenced off and there was a huge oil rig looking thing parked up in the bay.
