lysander Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I shopped in the market and the galleries from time to time. I even went to a works dinner somewhere on the top floor which had function room when first opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny1958 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Used to go up the stairs you can see behind the bus to a cafe/takeaway and get a soup and crusty bread cake for 10p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Duncan Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I grew up on The Parkhill Flats, mum used to do all the shopping in both markets and the galleries. She also stopped off at the cafe on the top floor of Woolco's for a coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History dude Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I seem to remember being scared of going on the upper galleries. I can't say if my mum and dad ever went up there, but they never took me up top. Or I don't remember going up there. I think I sometimes came out on the top floor of what was Woolworth, but only to go straight down again to floor level. We went into the markets all the time. And would catch that 71 bus shown in the photo often. It was however always slow going back home as it struggled up Park Grange. The Supertram now has no problem getting up that road and makes it look easy compared to that 71 bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
