Centre stage in Grantham Market Place

November 24, 2017 by Grantham Matters 3 Comments

A large crowd turned out to turn the clock back in the Market Place in June 1972. They were there to see the first stagecoach on the London-Edinburgh run for 127 years. It changed its team of horses in Grantham. The background has changed little.

    As for the paved area…That’s what happens when you put people in power and you let them think, they cock everything up for the rest of us sensible people.
