At the moment I am not aware of anyone taking over Sketchleys old shop, I certainly haven't seen any planning applications.

So the Ann Summers franchise would be seen as being a dirty sex shop?

So what sort of shop would we like to see in Ware ? Dave T.

I wouldn't mind seeing a bakers, or perhaps an estate agent.....JOKING. Something selling material, wool, etc (can't think of the name) art/crafty type shop would be good.

An art shop would be good to see in Ware. I tmight be good if it sold art products/supplies as well as possibly art work done by local artists? David

I know county cameras sell some paints, but a shop that sold another art materials would be useful. I'm not sure of any other shop that sells this in Ware?

It seems this subject is now turning into what shop would you most like to see in Ware again. Deja vu I think???????????

What's wrong with the original idea of Ann Summers.........might liven up those cold, dark, winter evenings for some people. Anyway that Peacocks is a fraud. I went in today to buy a peacock and they don't even sell them!

I don't have a problem with having an Ann Summers shop in Ware.

I'm sure Sketchleys will become either a bakery, a card shop or an estate agents but there is nothing very curious about it unlike the shop in Baldock Street that is currently fronting as a carpet shop (not Byrver carpets which is an established business). The run down shop I refer to has been fronted by other so called businesses like windscreen wipers and other useless facades. There is almost certainly something unusual going on in the vicinity as shoppers hardly ever use this end of the town. Perhaps the 'dirty' establishment you refer to is in this area of the town...who knows?

What we really need is a good gents outfitters...

I see no problem with Sketchleys being turned into an Ann Summers shop, so long as it doesn't cause offence to local people. The idea of a Gentlemans outfitters is a good one. Another idea could be another book shop. David

I dont think we need an Ann Summers Shop in our Town, But a Good Gents outfitters would be a good Idear we dont always want to Shop out of Town. We have a Bookshop already and a Good Library, We dont want to many repeats we have enough of them already. ajw

This Gents Outfitters - how many men, not teenagers, buy clothes regularly? not many I am sure. Perhaps if it sold womens clothing too it may pay to come to Ware. ie Dorothy Perkins or Next. I think an ordinary mens clothes shop would find it hard to break even in Ware High Street.

What we want is a good Gents !!! SFW

Womens Clothe Shops, We have quite a few already either very up market or general every day type, Also lingerie shop, Back in the fifty's when Ware was a very small Malting Town we had a Departmental Store, 3 Ladies and Gents outfitters. A Ladies Hat Shop, and a Ladies Outfitters. ajw

A hat shop would be good. I think people should wear hats more.

Reply ID 1498

There should be a second hand hat shop perhaps, because how many women have hats in their wardrobes worn just once to a wedding? lots I bet, shoes and bags too. Although 'Change of Address' didn't last, did it? perhaps the rents etc are too much for small businesses in our High Street.

Most blokes and some women I see around town do wear hats already, baseball caps!!... Like most people I wouldn't mind an Ann Summers shop in town, it's been a while since I had me rain coat out...I could shuffle in and out at will...erm...buying stuff for the missus like.. I know we have a book shop in the dead end of town and I know they sell some second hand books, but I'd like to see a dedicated second hand book shop..mebbe a second hand white goods shop too <cough> fridges and freezers on the pavement eh?...nice

Well Mr D'Arcy, I think I know your wife and I wonder if she's aware of your interest in the Ann Summers shop or are you one of those closet TV's like so many 'good husbands and fathers'. Remember this: Ware is a small town and gossip travels fast so don't assume a big raincoat is going to conceal your interest. As for fridges and cookers on the street, I think you should be looking in Harlow for reconditioned goods. It is obvious you have only lived in Ware for a short time. Wise up!

Sorry to disappoint people, but there is an article in thwe Herts Mercury this week, saying that despite all the rumours going round of an Ann Summers shop opening up in Ware, it is NOT true. Although, it didn't enlighten us as to what will be going into the old Sketchleys shop! David

When did you start believing what you read in the Mercury?
