In my experience a refurb like this often leads to things on a smaller scale. Ten years ago we were living in the I discovered the Birmingham indoor markets which were great for meat and all sorts of other things. They promptly closed them for refurbishment and when they reopened they were nowhere near as nice - narrow aisles, cramped stalls, everything felt shrunken.
Haven't been in Accy market hall since the revamp but I think the outside stallls are a disaster. Very claustrophobic and detracting from the building itself. I know there were stalls there many years ago but they were temporary not permanent.
I do remember Doug's stall from the sixties. Undies and nighties I think.
