W - FOUR Restaurant in Wisbech
The restaurant is now closed and has recently been sold.
This building was originally a public house called The Wisbech Arms before it was converted into a restaurant a few years ago. As the Wisbech Arms its main trade was from The Wisbech Livestock Market (demolished in the 1960s) which was over the road and it had extended licensing hours (pre 24/7 drinking) making it popular with dealers, butchers, farmers and many locals.

Wisbech: the Phoenix has risen
The Phoenix was gutted by a fire which started just after midnight on Thursday 29th April 2010. See
Image Formerly known as The White Hart and more recently as The Phoenix, this building is part of one of the finest pieces of Georgian street architecture in the country.
Though it looks to have recovered, sadly the Phoenix is still just a façade supported by a massive steel frame at the rear and the windows are just painted wood panels. The area behind is open ground. http://www.cambstimes.co.uk/news/wisbech_s_phoenix_hotel_which_was_destroyed_by_fire_in_2010_unlikely_to_be_repaired_for_forseeable_future_1_2328149
With thanks to Richard Humphrey for putting me in the picture after my visit to his amazing town.
