Greybeard Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I don't know if it was called the Sheaf Market - the one I mean was the big Black stone building- That was the ol Market Hall. If you went down Dixon lane and into the bottom entrance there were chickens, rabbits etc on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 remember the cafe up the stairs in the sheaf market? Was that the one with the tables with umbrellas, or was that in the Castle Market? it was indeed the one with umbrellas inside, it was Granellis Balcony Bar, reminisced about in a couple of threads on here already. sigh, Saturday lunchtime, after the Minors Matinee, at the ABC Cinema, a chip butty and a "glass" of cola, "ladding-it"! ahh, happy days.

kal77uk Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Oh yes! the broken biscuit stall, we use to hope we would lots of the cadburys digestive chocolate pieces, wonder what they do with the broken ones now? they probably send them to the main powerhouse supermarkets (tesco sainsburys etc)- so some sweatshop worker has the job of moulding them together to make a nice economy brand digestive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falls Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 ... that sold only broken biscuits? Hi, As noted in other replies to this topic, there was a shop at the far end of the old Norfolk Market Hall called The Caledonian Biscuit Company. They were famous for their broken biscuits. As soon as kids came in through the door, you could hear them moaning to their mother's - "When am I going to get mi biscuits?" For those too young to remember, the Norfolk Market Hall was on Haymarket and was demolished in 1959 to make way for the "new" Woolworths. It took the longest time to be taken down for it was built like a fortress - lots of heavy masonry, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
