Walking along Rye High Street on Wednesday, the swarm of contractors renovating the George Hotel seemed to be far more than normal, it was a real hive of activity from the roof down and I assume the major push before the planned reopening on May 1.
Decorators clung to ladders as they worked on the upper floor windows, down on the ground saws were sawing, drills were drilling and hammers hammering, hard hats and hi viz jackets were everywhere and with the weather at last being kind to us, all the opportunity was there to press ahead with the exterior.
Just as I passed, the metal fence panels were opened for a vehicle to access the site, an ideal opportunity to get a couple of photos to show you how things are looking behind the scenes. There is still a lot to do but everyone seemed very focused so hopefully the May target will prove to be a realistic date for the re-launch. We will endeavor to keep you posted.
