Jem's Diner

[Badger Exploration]

This is an explore of a location that I have driven past countless times to go and visit relatives from August 2022

The site originally opened as a Little Chef in the 1984. There were plans to add a Travelodge but the plans did not fall through. The site then closed in 2004 and became Peranakan café.

I am unsure if the restaurant was rebranded or another company bought it but it then became Jem's Diner in an unknown year. The restaurant closed in 2017 and has remained abandoned ever since.

There are currently plans to convert the restaurant into a Starbucks Drive Thru with four electric vehicle charging points.

Any abandoned building is worth a look in my opinion.

Its true that I will check anything out, indeed we had a look at over 30 places again yesterday but only half a dozen were any good but that half a dozen made tit worth the day.
However if someone has already shown that there is basically nothing to see personally I wouldn't waste your time. Believe me Northants does have better things to offer.
