  1. Does anyone remember Burtons Arcade underneath the Council House.  Got lovely bacon sliced as you waited.  Lovely decorations throughout at Christmas.

      I used to go into the cheese section on my way home from work on Friday (pay day). Used to get smoked cheese or Edam (Thought it was very sophisticated) for me and Stilton for my mum. You could smell the fish section all through the arcade some days.

      Yes - I used to go in from Clumber Street and out through the Flying Horse exit.  Do you remember when Boots was on Clumber Street and had a library upstairs?  The shop downstairs used to pass change to customers along a pulley system attached to wires above.

      I can vaguely remember the change system. Roughtons just down from Canning Circus had one as well, it used to fascinate me when I want in with my mum. The main thing I remember about Clumber Street is all the shoe shops on there.
