Stu Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The Hippodrome This was sited towards the bottom of Cambridge Street on the RHS going down. On a Sunday night the line of waiting people would stretch right down to the bottom of the street and round the corner. I used to remember this as a bloke with a plackard saying "The End Is Nigh" used to preach to us whilst we were waiting. We are still waiting. We used to go in the Gods (no pun intended) which had long bench seats stretching right round the theatre. This was great for chatting up the girls (the main interest). Dates were made for the coming week. We used to meet them on (you've guessed it) Coles Corner. Life was so simple As my father in law used to say "We were poor but we were miserable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjdary Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 How about the MOOR! Whatever has happened to it? our grandfathers would turn in their grave if they saw it now! How spooky is that...I was just saying to Mrs Dary...look at this ..what building would you have back and the first thing she said was THE MOOR!! She worked at one of the banks on there in the late eighties and loved it! "There was a proper market there but also lots of big name stores..not all the 99p shops thats are there now." Even a Hamleys.....possibly the only one outside of London. Personally I first went to the Moor in 1993/4 and all I can remember were the blokes selling knock off tapes and other hooky goods.

They do that outside The Castle Market these days - watch out for counterfeit ciggies especially. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
