This reminds me of the Martello tower ghost at the now ruined Derby jail..{the new model prison not the old gaol on Friargate}.. a world war one deserter..{just a youth} had been executed by firing squad there.. his spirit still walks up the winding stair to this very day.. as a cold mass of air..

On one stretch of Friargate between the Flag Market and Ringway they found 17 empty shops in the space of 200 metres. What can be done?
