pahowl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I lived there from 1989 to 1995 and can tell you that it was very much a blades area. Quite a bit has changed there since then, but it still has a good feel as a local shopping area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbo48 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Lived in the area since 1966. Watched the steady decline just like all outer city shopping areas. Great if you want a tattoo, your nails done, your hair barbered cheap or a takeaway, forget shopping for owt else unless it’s a charity shop. Probably the only genuine shops that are left are Battys butchers and Baldocks fishmongers plus the erstwhile Williams of Woodseats When I first came here there were 2 cinemas, 3 pubs , 3 fish and chip shops, cobblers, butchers, bakers, fruit and veg shops and more and more importantly, lots of character. Definitely a predominance of United support in the area 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Always thought of it as a Pig area. That Big Tree was always full of them (or they were the most noticeable / stood out the most). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The former bank building you referred to used to be Midland Bank and the other building further along was (I think) a Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
