should not come as a surprise jan...the powers that be have been working for many years to rid this city of its historical history...and so yet more apartments to be built that will most likely lie empty for years...very sad news

I was horrified but not surprised.
I used to pop in there on my way home from college and buy flowers as a thank you for my Mom. Or sometimes strawberries in season as she loved them. Still that a while ago now.

That is SO bad! The market is a keystone of the cities shopping history. Reading the article I would not hold you breath on the council doing the right thing based upon previous poor decisions they have made!

No doubt the planning committee will have had many well lubricated sessions with the developers already.

first the bull ring market then the wholesale market now the indoor market...clearly the area is turning too up market now...all these things were part of our social history which is fast disappearing...sad
