Re: Before all we Baby Boomers Shuffle Off
It saddens me to see the town centre now. I have great memories of being a kid and playing hide and seek on the huge car park behind Woolies and M&S. There was a ramp down the side of the rear entrance of Woolies, I guess it led to the basement areas but I remember foolishly going down it on roller skates!!
Shopping in Wardleworths where they were more than happy to order any books you needed, if they didn't have them in stock. I ordered all of my nursing and midwifery textbooks from there. Buying make up and shaders and toners hair dyes from Woolies, and being sent home from school because red tinted hair wasn't allowed.
There are a lot of reasons why Accy is now shot to sh1t... Big supermarkets, bus station in the wrong place, no free central car park etc...I fear that our Council are completely deluded about making the market hall into a food court. People won't go to town just to use a food court, which, let's face it will more than likely be overpriced. There has to be more in the town centre to encourage people to visit and I totally agree that they should be following the models of towns that are still thriving and successful.
