Demolition has begun on the Kingfisher pub in Spennymoor, County Durham Pictures: SARAH CALDECOTT DEMOLITION of a town’s pub is underway in preparation of a multi-million-pound redevelopment project. For at least 20 years residents and retailers in Spennymoor, County Durham, have longed for dramatic changes to Festival Walk which - after years of neglect - became an outdated eyesore that was more than half empty. This week, the Kingfisher pub, which stands on Festival Walk, is the most recent building to take the fall, following work to also tear down the former Kwik Save supermarket.
