Superb pics of the old town. I think the York became the Labour Club.

I remember the outside market. The car park was for Asda, it was a really ugly building with pillars, etc, and the flyover was just up the road. There were always kids wanting to take your trolley back for the 20p, although I was only about 10 then.
