Then it closed one of them is always in town with a three quater length brown camel jacket, he always has it on. My mate shouted Micro fun at him other day he gave him proper dead eye.
• 1930's art deco Library...interesting architecture, which means that the council will tear it down and stick the library in the doomed Mayfair Centre. Also few know of the (also doomed) Telephone Exchange Museum on Queen Street; mind its always shut; but apparently IF you can get inside its a real treasure trove, which is why they are going to close it. Given its proximity to Cheapside, its lucky some drug raddled thicksop hasn't burned it down actaully....

• The Priory. The Gatehouse. Beauty, and so close to Low town?
• The proud and lofty 'Lion Gates'and the lodge behind, Sparken Hill entrance to the Welbeck Estate
• white lion pub.
• Someone reckons that the French Horn is 'living Edwardiana' and they may be right, but the Fisherman Arms (opposite Labour headquarters near the Canal) is even better; what's more even the poeple inside are authentic Edwardiana, as is the beer. Incidentally has anyone noticed the shape of the landlord's head in the French Horn? Is looks like a loaf of Netto bread stood on its end. Perhaps thats why the git drives his red Golf all over the place at reckless speed with no signals....
• Railway Station
• Our Price- Mainly due to the fact i worked there and the 5 floors above it are so big and old, yet cool.
• French Horn. Living Edwardiana.
• Few people are aware (apart from the druggies who use it on wintry evenings) of the 'single person chapel' that is tacked onto the side of the Priory gatehouse. Its perhaps the only one left in Europe. Lovely little church, a real mediaeval relic.
• Norfolk Arms
• The last house.
• the frog
