Crosspool’s tea and coffee shop will close for building work before reopening under new management.
Outgoing Lounge @ Crosspool owner Paula, who set up the cafe in April 2012, is retiring. She said:
“After making 38,000 pots of tea, 20,000 coffees and lots of burnt tea cakes I have sadly hung up my soggy, flour covered apron for good! I have had the best 3-and-a-half years and realised my dream.
“I have learnt so much taking my little sad shop and transforming it into a very successful business that I will always be proud of. I have made some amazing life long friends and thank you so much for letting me into your lives. Heartfelt thanks. Paula xxx”
We’ll miss you, Paula! As soon as we have details of plans for the cafe we’ll share them.

A herd of cattle took temporary residence on the streets of Crosspool earlier today.
At around 6am this morning around a dozen cows were spotted outside Aligarh restaurant in the precinct. Some animals were seen using the pedestrian crossing to cross the road.
By 6.30am the herd, which included some calves, had set off towards Watt Lane.
Reports filtered through that the cows had been seen on Worcester Close, Sandygate Park Road and Hagg Lane, peacefully exploring front gardens, back gardens and grass verges.
By mid-morning the cows were being herded away from Hagg Lane.
