Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

Write early for a modular leak, and they've been wrong, or very loosely accurate when leaked this far in advance, but something to ponder. 

The leakers usually get the shape and general details well. As for what's inside, it's up to their understanding of it and maybe how others translate their leaks. The Tudor Corner certainly left them guessing wildly for months, and they never disclosed the haberdashery shop.

Ngl though, as fun as getting a clocktower is (although there's already on top of the Town Hall), what's inside the other buildings sounds way too mundane for a 20th anniversary set. The deli is redundant with Green Grocer. I guess the hardware store follows a trend of crafts shops (tailor, haberdashery, clockmaker, carpenter) which I find nice, but I can't see that as celebratory in any way.

 

Hopefully the clocktower is as tall as Town Hall's to make it a nice centerpiece for a row of modulars. And I really hope the leakers got the deli wrong and it turns out to be a small post office.

This sounds a LOT like a description of the BrickAtive modular "Old Town Pub" (even the colors match ~90%).
Interestingly, every mentioning of this MOC is gone from their own website as well as from rebrickable. Could still find it on their flickr account though:

This MOC has been realized (illegally, afaik) from a different brand.
The pub/exhibition on the right hand side might fit the hardware store, the abandoned building on the left might be a tight fit for any type of business though.
