Lunchtime Rush

I may have mentioned before that my first job was working in the Lace Market. It was quite a bustling place in 1979, with vans going up and down the street, collecting or delivering goods and people leaving their place of work and going out to lunch. The Lace Market was the most busiest during the 1960's. This photo shows Stoney Street around 12:30 on Thursday, and the building on the right is where I used to work. As you can see, it's practically deserted. My old building has now been turned into offices & a snooker club.
