I remember as a kid every Christmas the car park at Conway Park station would be full of coaches from across North Wales so that residents of remote villages could do their Christmas shopping in a town with a much better retail offer (to think Birkenhead was considered superior to elsewhere!).<br /><br />Also Sayers cafe in Williamson Square closed years ago and I think is now some gelato place.gottagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152621735220067381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-8057936722347579472013-05-26T08:09:11.219+01:002013-05-26T08:09:11.219+01:00I went to university in Durham and have fond memor...I went to university in Durham and have fond memories of visiting Newcastle. Especially that night we missed the pre-midnight train and ended up having to wait for the twenty past one train. Which would have been fine were it not for the British Transport Police trawling the station and shoving everyone out on the cold streets. Public safety? Yeah right.<br /><br />Greggs have had cafes for years. There was one in the 80s and 90s in the market section of the Manchester Arndale (no idea if it's still there), and they bought the Bakers Oven chain in the 90s which had a lot of cafes. Indeed I sat in the one in Durham (now rebranded to Greggs) last year. <br /><br />But Greggs Moments?
