When Did The City Centre Lose Its Soul?

I heard it had closed down. It was always fairly empty when I went in, the wrong end of town for that kind of market.

 

 

Its very much open. Looks like it was a very temporary closure over a landlord dispute. Its always packed when I go in.

I don't know what you mean by that.   It is situated close by to several university buildings, a short walk away from lots of new apartment blocks and surrounded by several leisure venues and hotels with more to come..... sounds like the perfect market to me.

 

Its a part of town which is completely changing and as others have said, with exception of one little blip due to a problem with the landlord rather than the operator, its regularly busy particularly the weekend when its packed.  

 

That clearly must be some level of business for these types of venues, given its at least the fourth one we have in the city with another one about to open up later this year.

"This one" is in the old Co-op building. There is now another in Orchard Square, and there is one down Kelham Island. Not sure of the 4th.

A bit, but just food vendors. Seating area is shared between them. 

The "Time Out" Market in Lisbon is a famous foreign example if you want to Google it, thats always heaving.

I went in the old Co op building a couple of years ago and it was mainly used clothes for sale.

Obviously changed since then.

Do we need a sort of upmarket Workhouse for these people ?
I don't like going into the City Centre and see loads of Spice Heads, Druggies and Beggars. 
I'm sympathetic to an extent but I think they need some kind of forced rehab instead of lying around on gear outside the Cathedral etc.

Many of them would have been in Middlewood Psychiatric Hospital in the past. Far from ideal, but at least they would have had a bed to sleep in, and be looked after. 

It was massive. When it was closed down we were supposed to be getting 'Care in the Community.' 

This is it...

And is a really great place to sit and eat.
