I remember being dragged around the bull ring by my gran who thought it was the best thing since in the universe until they built MK shopping centre.

What is extremely noticeable is the distinct lack of foreign manufactured vehicles

What amazed me the most was how new the rotunda looked, a certain raving davis on here actually lived in it not long ago after it was refurbished lol

Wow. I know the city centre pretty well after having lived there for two years and the place looks so familiar yet very different... New Street open to traffic! Even the Rotunda looks different. Just offices back then I think?

I knew you'd appreciate it mate, yeah was offices then, my sis worked there at one point in the 80's.

New street was open to traffic not that long ago, I drove down there many times, I don't even know how to get round there anymore, it's all buses and taxis only.
