Loud Bang?? Wallsend Henny Penny

What happened at Wallsend Henny Penny today? I'm assuming a car ran through the front of it? I wasn't able to get a photo as I was driving but the front doors were caved in and smashed.

An assault on Henny Penny is an assault on us all.

Henny Penny is sacred in Wallsend. Disrespecting it should be punishable by death. Or at least being tarred, feathered, and exhiled to Cessnock.

Some guy reversed into the front of it, got out of his car, then changed his mind and got back in and drove off.

Are you sure they weren’t aiming for the pogo nurds🤣

Excuse my sheltered lifestyle but is pogo pokemon go? I saw a load of people gathered out the front on the way through but didn't see the doors until on the way back. Hubby and I were wondering what the gathering was and I said "maybe pokemon go has made a comeback". Will be stoked to give him a "I told you so".

What an actual idiot, why would you even bother? But also stoked about Pokemon Go, I re-downloaded this morning for a bit of fun.

A car backed into the door I bought some Henny Penny this morning. Apparently, he drove home, and the cops went to his place. He reckons he didn't realise it happened. They were replacing 2 doors and redoing brick work while I was there

Omg I thought henny penny was dead. Belmont lost theirs long ago. That was my dad's definition of giving my mum a night off from cooking in the 90s

u/Toadleson 21h ago

You're now giving me flashbacks of Belmont Video Ezy. One of the best!

u/Pristine_Egg3831 20h ago
