Some of the building works I mentioned last week, which aren't yet completed, are obviously ones to watch, but here are some interesting prospects for 2026.
The old Post Office on Sparrow Hill has been vacant since about 2007, and still bears a for sale sign.
The former Towles factory on the corner of Clarence Street and Nottingham Road, now home to the charity SOFA, and the new makerspace and library of things also sports a for sale sign.
Revolutions
on Baxter Gate, which used to be the Conservative/Constitutional Club has now
been for sale for over a year,
There’s a little house situated between the houses on Forest Road and the leisure centre on Brown’s Lane that is likely to be demolished and replaced by flats.
This is just a very small selection of things to watch in 2026! There are many others that are already happening, and no doubt there will be many more to come that are not yet even a twinkling in anyone's eye!
