Market Hall Map

Anyone remember it?
The map that was in front of the Market hall, you could press buttons for locations and a light would appear on the map.
It's been gone years now. I wonder what happened to it.

Re: Market Hall Map

I remember that. It was a useful idea. Maybe too many locations and points of interest changed and it was no longer relevant.

Re: Market Hall Map

Strangely enough we were using one of those light up maps last week, was pretty ancient. Perhaps they sold it to the French because it was in a metro station in Paris :D

quite possibly, but it would have been relavant if the council had just replaced the map? or perhaps it went because it said ACCRINGTON CENTRE. now theres a thought :D

Re: Market Hall Map

Or everything closed down or moved etc. Just thinking now what is in the same place now what it was 25 years ago. Marks & Spencers, Woolworths, Inside Market, Town Hall, Bus Station, frank ogdens, newsagents on peel street, garth dawsons, Blind shop, post office, ray lyndens, gene sutcliffes and the pubs that are still open. Can you think of any more?

The message wasn't aimed at you directly, just to anyone. Only a little bit of fun. The shop has been there all the time though. (never been in nor would want to go in). Remember watching Snow White next door though, now thats a while ago!
