More info about the poppy thing here (may have to join the group to read): https://m.facebook.com/groups/167468503277701?view=permalink&id=2167344863290045&comment_id=2173457032678828&notif_t=group_comment_follow&notif_id=1535579058713457&ref=m_notif

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere on here, but noticed dresses have appeared in the windows of the ground floor of 15 Tipping St. including bridal gowns.

Not strictly Stafford, but Amerton Farm and Gentleshaw Wildlife at Fletchers in Eccleshall have animal rescue charities. (went to Gentleshaw a few weeks ago-well worth it, if that's your thing - & good to support!).

There are a few others showing Tipping Street (just type it in the quick search box), but they don't really show your place (LLFC). I have loads of books of old pics of Stafford & surrounds at home (bit obsessed!), so will have a look and see if there are any others, and will try and put them...

Great photos. Looks really good. Brilliant to see at least one of the old buildings in town being saved. Must say though, it's the before stuff i like, with all the nooks and crannies and stuff hidden behind walls! Don't even get me started on lofts & cellars!! So think the Right Move pics...

Now confused! Am i reading this right that LLFC originally posted at 11:46 PM on Saturday night when the first chance of getting in the building was earlier that day? Can someone please explain how the time thingymebobs work, as then Ecker responds, before LLFC had posted. Feeling a little thick!!

Gutted!!! I really wanted to see inside here (& a work colleague too!). With 14 minutes notice ( :soz: ), i missed out on having a nosey! Please, please, please post all the pics you have v.soon! Love that door! :)

No, but charity shops (at least Save the Children & Katherine House) have the needles & very possibly some patterns*. Sometimes they have wool, but if not, Poundland does & they are on 3 for 2. *Not always on display-you have to ask.

A mention on the Guildhall website says "would be required to vacate in January 2015", so presume it's just a temporary thing. Shame! It's going in the old ELC shop. Almost ready by the looks.

The Christmas tree in the Market Square was delivered this morning on a large truck with the help of a big yellow crane! Let's hope it lasts longer than last year's!

Me too! Ah, the memories... With the big dog on the roof out back?! Many a skived lesson spent there.

Have you had a nosey in the hole then? (so to speak!). I've wanted to for ages, but not brave enough! Love hearing about/looking at pics of old Stafford. Even more so now i'm doing (slow) research on family. E.g. One lived & worked as Smithy on 'Back North Walls' - presume that was somewhere...

Correct! Well done :) Think it's really strange how half is variagated & t'other is plain, but on the one tree! Over to you & Sir BofD to fight it out now then...

. . . And because he lived in a pub, always won the competition at school for the person to sell the most raffle tickets! Grrrr! ;o)

Yes it is-well done! Next time you go that way, check it out-massive padlock on the door with a big hole on the other side that i could fit through! Wonder what's in there? Does it belong to the church? Other pic is not far from here...
