What wonderful footage, doesn't the town look better in those days, a walk up North Street today resembles a souk.

Not sure if it was revolving or not. There's the good old Wishing Well, the place for romantic meets prior to town! If they were late, it was a tad embarrassing with no mobiles!

Back in 1968 when I started work in Western Road it was a boutique called Solitare, don't think anything revolved in it though.

What is a "souq".

What is a "souq".

I was wondering that, too.

Wikipedia offers:

A souq or souk (Arabic: سوق‎, Hebrew: שוק‎ sūq, also spelled shuk, shooq, soq, souk, esouk, suk, sooq, souq, or suq) is an open-air marketplace or commercial quarter in Middle Eastern and North African cities. The equivalent Persian term is "bazaar".
