It really has got many gems!

What a compliment! 🤣 Thank you. Shrewsbury will wait, get well soon

Sounds lovely! 👍

Yes amazing place i worked at The photographer . Bill Bernard Cross Mardol printing wedding and portraits . On Fridays payday My friend Janet Mathews Would buy a Parisian Slice from Sidoli,s . They were huge but amazing a real treat ,. I later went Nurse Training at Royal Salop Infirmary and Copthorne Hospital where working on the Childrens ward a met and became friends with a trainee Nursery Nurse named Cathy Maddox who was engaged and married Dominic Sidoli , The old Town has changed so much I was 15 when they took down the Magnificent old Market . It was like a secret building with glass mullioned windows as you walked up the worn old market steps . There was anger and many people upset that they put up the ugly clock building that is still there today and now a grade 2 or 3 listed building ,. So many black white buildings went in the 60s, 70,s and the pride of Shrewsbury was the magnificent building which was knocked down for Woolworth, Littlewoods, Marks Spencer, I know what it was called but cannot think at this moment but it was a masterpiece that the powers that be knocked down . . Shrewsbury my old home much loved town .

I might do that 👍

Thank you both! Yes long-standing retailers are golden 👍

Thank you! Very kind of you to say so. Yes the Lion hotel mystery is ongoing, tho currently stuck in a dead end! 🤣👍

@@thirdratecontent585 you should set up a hidden camera 😅

@@ethicalbunny I haven’t got a spare at the mo 😆

Thank you! It really is lovely to read these well thought out kind word. I named the channel early on and it’s kinda stuck lol. I’ll definitely add Berrington School to the list for a future visit. I was hoping to visit Clun this summer but didn’t get round to it, hopefully we get there in the not so distant future! And thanks again 👍

Shrewsbury looked in fine fettle. That building Sounds interesting 🧐

Yes it looked nice 👌

Thanks Louise That makes sense! I went there a fair few times at the old location. Neil Armstrong even dined there in 2010! There’s a Shropshire Star article about it floating around 👍👍

@@thirdratecontent585 I didn't know Neil Armstrong dined there, cool. I love the tagliatelle and Glass of White Wine on the house when I paid my rent after finishing my shift at Shelton Hospital, I really looked forward to it each month. Paolo is a amazing cook.

Thank you so much! Also thanks for taking the time to give feedback 👍 TRc comments section is a free speech zone, all opinions are valid

Agreed, but also if we wish to keep shops we need to buy from them. It is disheartening to say this as many shop online and as they say if you don't use it you lose it. Shopkeepers can no longer make a living.

Like nearly every council (and government) in the land incompetence and corruption (followed by chaos) are always the first things that come to mind when reviewing their actions lol. Tho I’m purposely being unspecific 🤣👌

Definitely a major loss

I don’t think there is a “concrete” date given for that, as of yet lol 👍

Well since the 1950s onwards Shrewsbury councillors only knock down black white and magnificent building and leave the crappy concrete jungle ones . I worked in Mardol At Cross and sons Photographers and visited the magnificent old Victorian market hall . and watched over the years the decline and bulldozing of beautiful old buildings . Telephone house was built on the Old Smithfield Road Raven Meadows and did not last long replaced by with the Concrete monstrosity . you talk about . There are videos on u tube showing the Old Smithfield And raven Meadows bottom of Mardol magnificent but all went to glory . They have beans for brains in Shropshire Council and a disgrace the millions of tax payers money wasted

I completely agree with the sentiment of what you say here👍
