Not really. I used to work there for a small business where computers and office equipment were sold and repaired. I loved working there and miss it very much

Yes! I think it would have been very interesting to be in that time, the early 1900's when people cared how things looked. They put so much into the architecture

Ha! I wasn't even born yet, It was in the early 1900's when they first opened it, Back when people had ballroom dancing and had pride in how their towns looked. I wish it was still that way today

A bit the same here as well, I moved to Essex 2 years ago, we moved to London then Sussex so its been like 20 years since me and fox left Essex, to come back the place is in Decay, the old town centre is like a ghost town, the market has long since lost its thriving community even the UFO group I once belonged to has folded up and its members scattered, Unfortunate as it is the world is changing a little bit too fast for my liking.

All the more important to have a camera handy all the time, before long that is all we shall have is the happy memories of what was once common place.

You are correct! Got to capture it all while we can. So much pride was put into things that it's so sad to see it decay...

Yes it is sad, things today with all those shopping districts and malls really are only a transitory places not built for love or community they tend to give a false sentence of activity, ever been to a mall when its been closed down? they are horrible soulless places
