Lymington - Long Shot :/

[audi321]

Hi all. I know it's a long shot but does anyone live or travel to Lymington near Christchurch?

If so, I really need a favour. Involves taking a photo of a shop and emailing it to me. I'm up in Hull and am facing a 600 mile round trip to take a photo of a business! Yes that's how much of a favour it is! Plenty of virtual beer tokens at stake lol.

Anyway, either PM me or reply to this and I'll give you the details. I would normally use google street view but the latest update is 2011 and the business has changed last year

TIA!

I'm in christchurch, so could take a photo tomorrow evening.

Is the shop on google street view?

[Dermot O'Logical]

I know Lymington quite well, but I won't be going there for a few days.

Which shop is it?

[audi321]

Wow....2 replies in 10 minutes! The power of PH!

The building was a pub called the Sportsmans Arms, the Square, South Street, Pennington, SO41 8GN. Apparently it's now a Tesco Express (since 2014)?

I just a couple of pics of the outside, nothing fancy, just proof that it's a Tesco not a pub!

Whoever can do it....I am eternally grateful, you've saved me a day of my life......drop me a PM and I'll give you my email address.

heres the link for tesco store details ... http://www.tesco.com/store-locator/uk/ post code SO41 8GN

Google street view is out of date, however this planning application shows Tescos own the site.

If you still want photos, I can go tomorrow evening, but it is a Tescos, not a pub. Few more links for proof.

I have been in that Tesco express and can confirm it exists! My mother in law lived just down the road, though sadly died 6 months ago, so I am not over there that often now.

Excellent chaps! That video will suffice with a few screen shots! The power of Pistonheads strikes again!!! Cheers all.

Lymington ? I know it very well, my elderly mother lives there and my sister who visits her daily lives in Brockenhurst.
If you have no luck with the other helpfull replies then PM me.
My sister used to have a shop in Lymington and knows where all the bodies are buried.

I drive past the shop daily, if you still need a photo.

[S10GTA]

I will be passing tomorrow evening if you still need a photo

PH meet at the Tesco Express?

[killerferret666]

i'll ask because no one else has and its intrigued me!

Why do you need a photo of a Tesco express?

[audi321]

I don't need a photo anymore thanks guys, the video was spot on as I took a couple of screen shots and no one will be any the wiser.

I need a picture of the property to prove it's been converted and isn't still a pub anymore for something at work (long story lol).

[heronio]

The first floor of the property is being used as 2 private flats (1x 1 bed and 1x 2 bed). The existing use was an ancillary use flat linked to the pub.

Btw, if you need more information like this for other properties, contact the relevant County Council. They should have a team who monitor changes in land use.
