My dad used to buy bedding plants in there each wrapped in damp newspaper. I also remember there being a human skull on a table near to the entrance but I’ve no idea why it was there, I’m guessing it was to do with some kind of possible herbalist.

I think it was something to do with a " Find the brain of a Wednesdayite " competition.

No idea what day we went, but I do remember, it being packed and yes Woollies was part of the weekly shopping tour, along with Freidrich's butchers in the Wicker, who for some reason along with meat sold, oatcakes?

Certainly does. My memory is of mi mam saying “ Come on will gu darnt Street”, That meant Mexborough, catch 207 go round Mexborough market get Tripe & Hudder for tea ,then inter in door market , get some Ginger nuts ( no jokes) in a brown paper bag then off to good owd Woolies before calling at Percy Laws for some choking sausage( named after once almost choking to death on the sausage skin) . No pictures available due to mi dad having the old box brownie which took ages to focus, but what a photo it took when done right.
 
It would be nice if some bloke from Wales would set up a GoFundMe page for this troubled soul, as pictured on the telly at the end of the Wigan game in 2007. Okay, I know I'm... er, I mean, he isn't crying but it is known that Sheffield United made the poor little lambkins cry in 1979, 1981, and 1988. At least. Won't someone please think of the middle-aged hitchhiker?

I actually meant to put this in the Euro 2020 thread, but as I'm old and confused, it works just as well here.

I think what happened is that after World War 2, borders were redrawn, and a part of Poland was reclassified as Ukraine. Many of the Poles who ended up in the UK had nothing to go back to, as they lost their land, farms, houses, etc.

My father in law was one affected by the boundary change. We tried to put together his family tree but got little help from the Polish authorities as his birthplace is now in the Ukraine

As soon as I saw that picture of the entrance to the Market Hall, I thought of those big brass scales. The Rag and Tag was a Saturday morning ritual for me and my Dad, but by God, what a dump it was when you see those pictures.

I remember my mate putting his finger through a rabbit’s cage in Ogleys and the rabbit bit his finger and wouldn’t let go. They had to open the cage, lift the rabbit out and prise it’s mouth open. I was in stitches……and so was my mate after he’d had a tetanus jab.
