There were two indoor markets .One where, as you say, where Weatherspoons is. This was fish/meat & fruit/veg. The other one was a two storey market where Potteries Centre is now. This sold usual market merchhadise and I think the basement of the Potteries Centre was the original basement of the old market.
More useless information is that Percy St used to be the main bus terminal in Hanley before the bus station was built

Does anyone remember going to the Teeside airshow during the 1980s?
As a kid I used to go there with my parents. My memories are being scared shitless by the noise of a BA Concorde (then in the old red/blue 'British' livery) when I was about 3 years old - I guess this was the 1983 airshow.
I have photos from the 1985 airshow which show in the background a DHC-7 with a small Canadian flag on the tail - perhaps the prototype or a Canadian Air Force example. I also remember a BMA Viscount arriving and departing as we stood very close to the runway - presumably operating a scheduled LHR or weekend JER service. The Red Arrows were there every year, naturally.
I also remember that it was during one of the last airshows (1989/90?) that I remember being in my grandparents' back garden in Darlington and seeing a Vulcan bomber flying low overhead - an amazing sight, and the last time I saw a Vulcan flying.
If anyone else remembers these airshows, please share your memories, and if anyone has photos it would be great to see them.
