Where were these buildings?
I remember Brian Deakin keeping the Unicorn before he moved to the Sun in January 1976, and Gordon Eccles moved from the White Lion to the Chains at the same time.
For many years, there was a small cannon and a stack of balls near the bus stop in Lower Loxley, although its removal seems to have predated the earliest Street View picture.Now. Does anybody have any pictures of the two cannons that were situated outside the front of Anson House ?
Addendum: When I was a kid a mate of mine, Glen Humphries, and myself were pretending to load and fire one of those cannons. We were using motions we'd seen on TV and film. As we were running back and forth with imaginary cannon balls and charges an old guy stopped and told us we were doing it wrong.
"You have to soogee out the barrels between shots," he told us. "Otherwise a spark up there might pre-detonate your charges which can be dangerous."
We hadn't got a clue what he was talking about. Many years later I encountered the word 'soogee' again when I went to sea. And I suddenly understood.
If you want to know what it means, Google it.

Or the day the Dog and Partridge closed and the day the White Lion and the Unicorn closed.The two worst days for Stafford town centre were when the original market shut in order to become the useless waste of space the Guildhall has become and the day Bagnalls closed.

Normal or not, an "I've had four bottles of wine, do you think I care?" sort of person is much more likely to be an alcoholic than me.I meant from a normal persons point of view, not an alcoholic's.
Why did anyoneThe two worst days for Stafford town centre were when the original market shut in order to become the useless waste of space the Guildhall has become and the day Bagnalls closed.
Dunno. But they did.Why did anyone
Go in the dirty smelly market when you could visit a clean well laid out shop run by the same people at the same price
No doubt to be parked in continually by ICE vehicles, as is the English way.It's not going to change the world but 2 X EV charging bays are being installed at the Hough retail park in the corner opposite Starbucks.
