Bikertec Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yet another of our grand buildings have now gone. Drove past today and its all gone apart from a little building. Dated back to the 17th century, how can they do this and then keep things like the park hill flats. Its make me so angry seeing this like this happen.

Allen Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm sure they could have found another use for it. It would have made a superb conference centre, for instance. I suppose it was down to economics. Had some great times there in the late sixties at the disco nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I used to go to the Marquis of Granby every Saturday night to its Disco. They named it the 'As You Like It'. It was half a crown (12.5p) to get in. This was 1967. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'd heard that it was going to become flats, but it's a crying shame that building has gone. No, it's a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaw Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Once stayed there in the height of summer when it was very hot. The room was like a fridge (must have been the thick stone walls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
