I have just been back to Wakefield for a short break. I knew what to expect before I set off. But still don't know whose idea it was to do away with the old Bull Ring which I thought made it look more like a city. Why take away such a good market? It was one of the best, plus the indoor where I used to buy my records in the 1970s. But overall I thought the place looked clean and tidy when I visited recentley. I was born there so will always have a soft spot for the place. PS - does anyone remember Harry Haleys and Craven sports shops from the 1960s and 1970s?
