samssong Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 .........and sanctioned a huge ugly pile of red bricks at the bottom of the Moor,cutting the centre in half! They have now moved into that building and so its convenient they have built the Market next door so they can nip out and do a bit of shopping whenever they are not planning the next disaster .

soft ayperth Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Disc Jockey Right on. As a teenager I had a Saturday job working at a furniture store down near Heeley bottom. At lunch time, which was no more than three quarters of an hour if that, I hiked all the way up London Rd to the disk jockey so I could have my nosh listening to the juke box. Then, raced back again.
