"On the 15th and 16th of October 2016 Stefce Kutlesovski and Raman Shaqiri, (now and forever known as 'The Corkman Cowboys'), through their company 'Shaq Demolitions', illegally knocked down the Carton Inn at 160 Leicester Street Carlton."
In May 2025, construction work was finally underway. The cellar was filled, a concrete slab laid and precast, tilt-slab concrete panels erected in an approximation of the exterior walls of the former brick pub.
By late July steel framework was installed for internal walls floor and roof, and presumably to hold up the tilt-slab. Some fake chimneys added on top, and a couple of plasticky sash windows installed.
