Bought our first house there in '77 while still in the RAF - fantastic place to live. Left in
'03 when it was probably at it's lowest ebb. Town full of yobs, Hen and Stag parties staggering around before lunch time it really had become the pits. Went back for a few days just a few eeks ago - what a change I saw, most of it for the best - but the bomb site that was Yates's Wine Lodge and on the other corner from the Fleece and the new architecture on Birley St?, That saddened me. The other thing I missed were the fish & chip shops -Where have they all gone?
But nice to see it picking up again.
