Work in progress on the new homes being built on the former Smith Parkinson Motors site.
Councillors were impressed by the plans Grimley Smith Associates presented to redevelop the site, with offices for themselves, as well as the housing.
Just a thought: As the new homes will be facing Market Lane, will that be their address?
That's an interesting point for local historians, as Market Lane, like so many small courts and alleyways running off Wrawby Street and Market Place, had its share of houses - generally two-up, two-down. Or even smaller.
Latterly, Market Lane was just the back entrance into Smith Parkinson's premises for staff and customers - and a little-used public right of way.
