Actually the company was based in Halifax and the brand was bought by Sartoria Corporatewear Ltd. Which became part of Logistik UK which is wholly owned by Logistik Unicorp of Canada. <br /><br />Between Channels, would you be surprised to learn that we have got Huddersfield's Queensgate Market Beeech Tree Overalls stall on film from 1975?

Without being awful, going in there is like stepping into a time machine. There's a new(ish) roof on the outdoor market, designed by a much missed former boss of mine:<br /><br />http://www.architen.com/projects/rotherham-market<br /><br />It's not just the building itself that sends you back in time when you go there. In a really strange way, the whole experience is like something out of a colour Mitchell and Kenyon film.Doofushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368086816490113661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770490833224337724.post-52121698336410061242011-06-03T13:00:06.514-07:002011-06-03T13:00:06.514-07:00Great pictures.

Strong corporate identity. Muted tangerine/mustard will forever mean Rotherham Market.<br />And the gathering of kids and mothers around the yellow cabinet may be an indication, but not an evidence of your children's ride thesis.dispohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512231882060582452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770490833224337724.post-3097552804776116932011-06-02T11:28:37.877-07:002011-06-02T11:28:37.877-07:00I like these very much and enjoy your commentary. ...I like these very much and enjoy your commentary. I've never been to Rotherham but I do have fond memories of buying some second-hand records in Barnsley Market in the late 80's.
