Traditional folk entertainment.

We'll chop you down like an old dead tree...

The song Dirty Old Town was written by Ewan MacColl and originaly referred to Salford, but this verse is fairly appropriate to the coach station.
(Make the most of this one, I have probably infringed numerous copyrights and will have to remove it! Care I?)

Ashley Blake and Paul Bunting join the band for a photo-call.

The coaches would leave through here to destinations all over the UK.

Don't get me wrong.. National Express have provided an excellent service in the past and I would not hesitate to recommend them.... but this coach station was terrible and I hope the replacement is a vast improvement.

Meanwhile, next door to the coach station, the burnt out remains of "The Dubliner" public house which caught fire on the morning of Wednesday 26th July 2006. Arson was suspected but did the arsonists pick the wrong building by mistake? ;-)
