letsavagoo 412 Report post Posted May 16 My maternal grandmother worked as a librarian at Bromley House for a number of years prior to marrying my grandfather in 1918 when she retired. I've been a member of BH for several years and they found and showed me her name in their records. They bought her a tea service as a retirement gift apparently. It is a wonderful place and I love it, an oasis of calm in the heart of town.. The attic was the site of one of the first if not the first photographic studios in the city. It is currently undergoing a massive repair and restoration to the roof, part funded by a lottery heritage grant. It's covered in scaffolding at the moment. They have had to move several tons of books to off site storage while the work takes place. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 4,242 Report post Posted Wednesday at 10:02 AM Well I would say it's a bit of state the obvious Mary, it's old, it's almost square, used to have a market on it & it was slabbed? I'm I correct & have a I won owt? What would you like to call it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 190 Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:26 AM Just a guess - but given that the open market was held there until the 1920s (when the Council House was built and the market moved to Lower Parliament Street) I wonder if it was called ‘Market Square’ until then and the ‘Old’ was added after the market moved?

notty ash 215 Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:54 AM The Old Market Square was called Market Place on maps up until the 1930s at least. Old Market Square probably just means - square where the old market was held. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
