When it was opened it looked exactly the same as it does now, except that in those days it had shops and customers.Would be interesting to see pictures of the Guildhall during the first few years it was open? Even during its development.
Or paint a shopping arcadeIt appears you can
Put lipstick on a pig
Polish a turd
And so on....
As my daughter would say "You can't polish a turd .... but you can roll it in glitter". (I think I'll take her word on that.)It appears you can

Just one night with a wrecking ball and a couple of bulldozers should do it.From the Guildhall facebook page:
*** Customer Announcement ***
Following on from our announcement earlier in the year about the mall refurbishment works, we can now confirm that they will be starting this coming Monday 6th November, due to be completed mid-late March 2018.
There will be 2 weeks over the festive period where no works will be done, so there will be no impact to the late night shopping. Work will re-commence on Tuesday 2nd January 2018.
All of the works will be taking place overnight to have as little impact as possible on the day to day trading.
Work will begin at the rear of the centre by the Earl Street entrance, removing ceilings, replacing lights and repainting. They will then work their way down the malls before finishing at Market Square reconfiguring the entrance and replacing the canopy.
For the duration of these works, and because of the hours the contractors will be on site we will unfortunately be having to close the car park at 8.00pm. It will also then not reopen until 7.00am. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We will keep you all updated of what is happening behind the scenes, keep an eye out for our before, during and after photos
We don’t know about you but we can’t wait to see the all new Guildhall next year!

The guildhall has also gone downhill following the introduction of poundstretcher and opening and closing of carbon.
I personally don't think the introduction of Poundland has anything to do with it...
Just look at the previous tenants and their performance...

Spotting a trend here ?
