Romsey Aquatic store?

[Aqua sobriquet]

Some years ago we visited an Aquatic store in Romsey Hampshire. I understood at the time that the then current owners we giving up. I later read that someone else was taking it over. I can’t seem to find it on a Google search though. Anyone have any info? It was as often the case inside a garden centre but I can’t find any mention of that.

Don't know for certain but looks like it could be this one. I think it was previously World of water and it went bust, was run for the administrator for a while by Suthern aquatics but looks like they only ran in for a few months before it closed again?

If it is indeed this shop then it now looks like they plan/planned to turn it into some sort of nature themed redevelopment.

How does that work when it is feet deep in water like in 2014 ? The fish in world of water "escaped" during the floods...

I use this map of UK fish shops. It's quite out of date but gives a good starting point.

Haha looking at the plans its going to be a wetland. Most of the structures also appear to be on stilts.

The pdf of the plans are to big to upload, they can be found here. Plans for nature based development submitted to Test Valley Borough Council | Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust

Thanks for that. That was indeed the store. I plan to go over that way on another errand but I shan’t bother looking for it now! 😊
