Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction

It probably costs more than 10k a year to open the Market Hall on Sundays

Go along Peel Street.

Cross the outdoor market.

Go through doors of Market Hall.

Cross the wide open space of the hall, where once there were stalls.

Mount the stairs.

Walk through the empty tables of Britcliffe's coffee and bun shop.

Arrive at toilets.

Thankfully enjoy the relief.

We know he was a special needs teacher, and from his previous posts on here, we know accuracy with figures isn't his strong point, but if he expects us to believe it's 'only 100 yards' he must think we're all sat on the special bus, licking the windows.

At my age, I'm afraid the relief might well be before I've crossed the outdoor market.

As a rough guide the distance from the toilets to the fag kiosk is approx 33 yards. I don't think 100 yards would actually get you in to the Market Hall

Mount the stairs, me thinks Jaysay would have peed his pants by then, Stairs and me don't go down well, that's why I got a transfer to a ground floor flat may moons ago

There is a lift.

A tiny lift.

That handily takes you up to the cafe, and bladder relief.

Either way, it's still over 100 yards.

actually you won't have tp mount the stairs but if you're on your own then I'm pretty sure you would have to go the long way round to the disabled toilets. The automatic doors are at the Blackburn Rd end

Wouldn't the 10 yards to the new Tesco be quicker ?

Perhaps it's hard to judge.

Depending on where you're sat.



I'm suprised the distance wasn't given in chains, or cubits.
