Guest Cutglass Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 noticed it when we came up on Good Friday, taxi driver us took us up Granville Road to Manor Top and then down Mansfield, I assumed it had been changed awhile ago. Used to shop there myself when I first left home 20 years ago, and then went to Manor Top chippy for my greasy chips. But Spar next to Somerfield...........it is still Somerfield innit, can remember when it was Gateway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushbaby Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Sad, but clearly inevitable. In recent years it did seem to be awfully out of touch with what people were actually wearing. I used to loook at the window models and try to imagine who would wear such stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Was this the shop with the yellow windows? The glass I mean. If so, it always looked very odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was only last year. Seriously though…..it's the passing of an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
