Lysanderix Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 My enduring memory of the hall was the large fountain which seemed to be used by the several nearby florists stalls to arrange their displays…it always seemed to have lots of discarded vegetation in the basin! My other memory was of a small philatelists stall where I was a regular customer for his British Colonials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
