Light and airy centre with automatic doors so you don't need to touch door handles. Massive Poundland store the home store of the brand. Bought a couple of lovely grey planters for 1 each.

It was a fleeting visit,but it looks great. I plan to go back and have a proper look around. There's plenty of choice for shopping,or dinning, or just chilling with friends for coffee.
