Come 2019 and the vegan cafe had been transformed into a Viking themed tapas bar called Vinabod and Park Chambers was occupied by a hair salon called Heaven <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6179485">SJ8990 : Castle Chambers</a>.

In 2020 The tapas bar was being transformed into something else again <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6420434">SJ8990 : Castle Chambers</a>.

Following the easing of restrictions around the coronavirus pandemic in 2021 the cafe/bar has re-opened as The Glass Spider but the hairdresser next door had gone and been replaced by a shop selling vintage glass bottles <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6856665">SJ8990 : Castle Chambers</a>.

Now in January 2024 the whole lot has closed down in readiness no doubt for some future revival. — Castle Chambers Credit: Gerald England
