THE owners of a former Winchester cafe have been warned not to enter the building. 

A notice of forfeiture has appeared on the door of 25 Stockbridge Road in Fulflood.

The cafe, called Number 25, closed in September shortly after Autumn House, in The Square, closed. Both were run by Alex Donnan.

“This property is now legally occupied by the landlord. Note to the former tenant: you may not enter this building.

"Warning: any attempt to break into this property will be classed as a criminal offence and will be reported to the police.”

The former cafe's interior looks the same as it did when it first closed.
