Sadly, the Queen’s Hotel and the former cinema area, last used as a market hall, were demolished and a new Queen’s Market has been built on the site. Plans were first presented in 2018 by the Council, the building fronting the promenade (by then the Savoy Hotel & Fusion Nightclub) being described as ‘dilapidated with no active uses on upper floors and significant void levels on the ground floor’. The seperate Queen’s Market was still in use as such. The overall cost of replacement was £14.5m for a glass and metal structure.

Along with the market, the space also contains a food hall, leisure facilities and a multi-use hall area.
