It used to be a great town centre but alas no more. You are better off driving past.

We go often in the summer but Lord Street is rotting away. It's very upsetting to see.

Sadly I think it's indicative of all UK town centres nowadays.

Just being filled up with pound shops, charity shops and cash converters.

If you're over this way in the summer and want to have lunch and talk watches drop me a PM.

I may give you a call when it's on, I have a ton of photographic equipment and that would be very handy.
