Mansfield Council has a lot to answer for. It was further compounded by the loss of the hosiery industry, the progressive closure of the Mines and the supply chains of both sectors and the growth of out of town shopping centres. The world has changed and will continue to do so unfortunately with it comes consequences. Mansfield market was unfortunately one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the person(s) that designed Maid Marion way in Nottingham came out of retirement and did the Mansfield ring road. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Are saying that MMW was designed? I was colleged at PCFE whilst the abomination was being built. I thought it was just thrown together from random bits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 In the eyes of the person(s) at the time I'm sure they thought they were designing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,417 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 In the book 'Conservation Today' by David Pearce MM way was part of a proposed inner ring road that was never completed. It's interesting if not the easiest book to read and Nottingham and the Lace Market in particular are mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,417 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Different times indeed, one of the most asked questions I get is 'how fast is the broadband' and 'does it have cable'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still can't believe that anybody thoght it a good idea to push a great big road like that through such a historic portion of Nottm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I had a visit from my Granddaughter this morning and it was as usual the best thing to happen all day. She went on her way and a while after she had gone, I went for a piece of fruit from the table. Look at this little secret message that I found. Call me soppy, but I love that banana. Can't possibly eat it ..........can I? 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Fending for myself, dog and two cats while Mrs PP is in Tenerife is proving quite enjoyable. Shopping in the market today - no plastic packaging. Big bunch of purple sprouting , 4 large conference pears, 2lb of washed spuds and a nice solid cabbage for a fiver. Could probably do slightly cheaper in the supermarket but for me supermarket shopping is soulless. Lunch in my fav market caff. Had to go to supermarket for a few delicacies but going to try and make my own to avoid the packaging. Penkridge market again tomorrow for a few things but mainly because I like open markets. I'll treat myself to some nice fillet steaks from the farm van and probably get some onion sets etc. ready for planting. Cooking is a bit of a laugh but fortunately Mrs PP left instructions on bits of paper stuck in appropriate places on all the appliances. Still not got the hang of working the telly though. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Woke up with what I thought was a runny nose only to find it was a nose bleed. I can't remember ever having one before. Quite worrying and messy with no one at home to help. So light duties today, although I feel quite well otherwise. I was going to go and do a bit of panic shopping but I did most of that yesterday - large bag of spuds and two doz bottles of wine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 For a change we have a beautiful day. Very warm so we've been sitting outside enjoying it while it lasts. Hope it continues because we have work to do, taking all the paving bricks up and making more of a garden . It's a big space so we are doing half grass and the other with some acer trees. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
