There's was an Our Price on the corner but that wasn't big. There was Spin-A-Disc on the opposite side after it moved from the lower precinct. Are you talking about the one where Dixons used to be? Can't remember what that was called.What was that Music / Video place on the corner down by Blue Banana / Tandy? Was always quite big.

Former manager recalls heyday of Fishy Moore’s restaurant
All parents get like that as they get older. Money becomes more important to them.I had a petrol blue blazer from there that i used to wear out might still be at my parents but probably a bit tight now
Am I the only one here who didn't understand that?My uncles fruit stall from the indoor market, my other uncles veg stall from the indoor market, but most of all .... my granddads Luftwaffe.
It all went downhill, but is now all being redeveloped.Not been in to the city centre since I moved back to Cov. Just had a look on Google Maps and wish I hadn't.
What the hell happened to it? I know the high street is struggling everywhere but not to that extent.
I remember when it was our local butcher's, the place stank of dead animals. Before that it was an abbatoir, the big door on the right is where the animals went in:Considering the love for Barnbys on the previous thread, surprised nobody's listed them yet.

Sorry Dutch - was supposed to be a joke that my granddad was one of the Cathedral bombers during the Blitz, but I guess if I have to explain it, then it can't be funny ... I'll get my coat!Am I the only one here who didn't understand that?
1960s, it didn't become a 'pub' until the year 2000.Never knew that. When was this? 1950's?
It was the plaice to go. ...Anyone miss Fishy Moore's?
Wasn't a place I went to, but people always used to go on about it all the time.
What about the roundabout by the market.Completely forgotten about that, what happened to it?

Gaumont? Did that become the Odeon?My three:
- Gaumont Palace
- Woolworths

Yes but those of us who remember the original Odeon at the top of Far Gosford Street never called it that.Gaumont? Did that become the Odeon?

There was loads. Smiths had their own record store opposite the main shop, Woolies, HMV, Revolver. Think there was another one in City Arcade. Then up to Far Gosford Street for Hits and Misses.
