Local Market gone!!

(1/3) > >>

robbie:
Our local market burned or was burned down the other day. It was a really great typical market hall, good stuff, good people, now just scrap.... shame that someone or something has to have such an effect on the quantity of people around here.

There was one butcher, he has worked there for 72 (YES 72) years, being 84 yrs old now........ and was still on the stall days ago

Things will never be the same :(

Just wanted to share this with you.........

Stormin:
Some-one wasn't wanting to develope :?: it by any chance? :(

strapping young lad:
hi robbie

yeh i heard bout this, a friend of mine lives in park bridge and grew up in ashton, said its like a local landmark.. no more

his mate's missus has (had?) a grocer stall on the outside.. but dont know what will happen now cos they cant have a market there till the site is cleared i suppose.

datalas:
and another market bites the dust..

they'll probably rebuilt it though, but it'll be as one of those really nice french style markets with high pitch prices and stalls that sell crap nobody wants...  then it'll get closed down because nobody goes there....

look on the brightside, they get to waste a couple of million quid of taxpayers money to end up with a pointless eyesore :(  Just like they did in bolton, burnley, todmordon, bacup......   :roll:

robbie:
Whatever happens, it is b***dy sad...... :(

The shell appears to be still upright and looks well from a distance. From outside looking in, it perhaps could be saved a little to try and keep some character.

They are trying to link the fire into a previous nights fire at a bride shop on the other side of town.............

curious..  :shock:
