Default Re: Fire at Nottingham old cattle market.

It certainly looks like it's Anchor that's gone up in flames but there's also a large Auctioneers close by.

Anchor are not just at Meadow Lane, Nottingham, but also have a large depot at Ripley between Nottingham and Derby, open seven days a week.

Anchor isn't just the largest military surplus outfit in the UK, but in Europe.

One of the items they sell is surplus police riot helmets with polycarbonate shatterproof visors. Excellent for woodturning or when using a chainsaw etc, and a bargain at under £20.00. I don't have one as I have a Trend Airpro powered face shield/respirator, which are ludicrously expensive especially for occasional use.

Over the years, Anchor have had lots of ex military radio gear - Clansman etc, which doesn't interest me, but seemingly does others.
