The Selebian: May 2009

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Living in the Past. 160;  When you find a skull. 160;  in the marketplace. 160;  who you gonna call? 160;  Selby Counci. Alas, poor 13th century monk! We knew you. well, not for very long actually. Nothing can delay the construction of our very own circus maximus. With sublime prescience the council had planned ahead for such a find. Wow! And I thought we were led by dumber and dumberrer. But we are led by folks who combine history and futurology in one fell swoop! No - Station Taxis phone number. Many v...

The Selebian: Broken Brook Street

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/05/broken-brook-street.html

Many visitors wander as far as the Quick Save store and turn around, assuming that the town ends there on that sorry note. This is a pity as Brook Street has the potential to become one of Selby's most attractive shopping quarters, its independent shops with smart frontages striving for local, individual identity. A shame then that these efforts are undermined by more theme Selby. It sure is a pretty town. 2 May 2009 at 13:29. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to The Selebian. Living in the Past.

The Selebian: Yorkstone Chinese whispers

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/04/yorkstone-chinese-origins.html

It has now been clarified, belatedly,  that the stone to be used in the market place is indeed Yorkstone sourced in Yorkshire. Where did the idea that it came from Taiwan, and then China, originate? The story has been doing the rounds for months so why has it taken so long for a councillor to refute this? Surely an earlier intervention would have saved everyone a lot of grief? Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well.

The Selebian: Hospital/SDC Offices

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/04/hospitalsdc-offices.html

It makes a change to see a different councillor from Mark Crane in the local press, unfortunately Coun. Cliff Lunn seems to share his dismissive attitude. In his letter to the Selby Times he disregards "12 multiple letters" opposing the hospital/SDC offices plan, does it not occur to him that these people simply agreed with the arguments put forward and thought that these were adequately expressed by Mr and Mrs Shooter?

The Selebian: Road to ruin 1

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/04/road-to-ruin.html

Road to ruin 1. Anyone from Leeds would think that they had been lied to as they drove along Leeds Road, admiring the properties with their well maintained gardens, they would be thinking 'what a lovely place! Past St Mary's church and its lovely trees, past the house that Pete built opposite the end of Armoury Rd and Grundy's funeral parlour and then onward to the house that Jack built and the graveyard of good planning - complete with reserved plots for dead losses and dandelions. What went wrong?

The Selebian: Road to ruin 2

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/04/road-to-ruin-2.html

Road to ruin 2. After negotiating Cake 'Oil Circle and travelling down the boulevard of post-industrial decay and dereliction, one reaches the toll bridge with the superb Abbey looming into view. Unfortunately on traversing the bridge the eye is drawn to the old bridge-foot petrol station. Didn't someone apply to develop this site but their proposal was considered out of keeping with the approach to Selby? Maybe all the entries to the town centre have to conform to a theme (abandoned shopping trolley?

The Selebian: Stone chat

http://theselebian.blogspot.com/2009/04/stone-row.html

Perhaps the illuminated sign will eventually fade and that funny clock will grow roman numerals. Has the clock on the old building in the background allways been there? I never noticed it before. 30 April 2009 at 20:27. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to The Selebian. To leave comments you must enable cookies. In your browser preferences.
