 | | The traditional old Chrisp Street market with its gas lit stalls that seem to stretch for miles thronging with shoppers till late at night had sadly been replaced by a modern new market square, the stalls laid out in neat rows with electric lighting and a small arcade for inclement weather. |
 | | Catering for the whole community, houses, flats, churches, schools, an old people's home, a pedestrianised shopping centre and covered market place, pubs and open spaces were all carefully laid out and linked by footways. |
 | | There was even a block of flats and a special garden with sheltered seats tailored specifically to the needs of older inhabitants who were not yet ready to move into the old people's home. |
