Feels a bit tired. Some surprising sole traders. Too many junkies about though, which makes you a little nervous.

This has a good selection of shops, mostly chains rather than independent stores but all the staff I spoke to were polite, friendly and helpful. I needed a picture frame and got what I needed in Wilko.

Absolutely hideous. Stalked by strange Bruegel flavoured grotesques who seem to find the spectacle of a man eating peanuts mystifying. When you couple the denizens with the hopeless feel and poor selection of stores a foul impression is created. One of the worst malls I have ever visited.
Awful.
Awful.
