LizzieM 8,951 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Absolutely FLY, as 'Mr Chumley-Warner' stated, "the Market Square had character". There was a definite buzz about the place, a meeting place for several generations and we all have good memories of how it was. Why was it changed? To allow wheelchair access was one reason ...... that could have been arranged without taking it all up and building a flat characterless open space. No, there was more to it than allowing wheelchair access! But I'll leave that debate for those Nottstalgians who dare comment! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,101 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well Lizzie, you stuck your neck out the other week by mentioning the Mellors family. Greased palms, back handlers and envelopes of used notes spring to mind.... Allegedly! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 1,620 Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Used to remember when the Lions used to ROAR !!! would be nice to get our old city back, but that's progress as they say. Went in to Town the other day and the old council house looked like it could do with a bit of TLC. come on you councilors spend some money on the gal. Lets have The Queen of the Midlands Back. Goodness knows what the Germanys (who have the Christmas Market) think of us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
