Towns of Two Halves extracts:
● “The Billy Bremner statue depicts the combative midfielder with arms aloft, acclaiming the crowd. Originally in bronze, the kit has subsequently been painted white. This ill-advised ‘improvement’ makes it look as though Bremner blacked-up for the artist.”
● “The Headrow [is] an odd name for a main street, suggestive of an exotic hairstyle probably involving beads.”
● “There can’t be many cities in the UK where you’d go to the library just to admire the staircase.”
