damo   10 #13 Posted January 24, 2011 I doubt that it is true, Drakehouse isn't the right area for M&S. It's a bit like plonking a branch of Harvey Nic's in Walkley or a Jack Fultons in Dore. They just don't fit. Perhaps somewhere like Millhouses would be a better location?   There is a M&S food store in Cross Gates in Leeds. Hardly the nicest area of the city. So no reason why it can't work in Drakehouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A pretty rubbish shopping centre. 2 retail parks which are horrendously busy at weekends causing traffic nightmares around the whole area.  On the plus side there's........

But, Asda will help in creating a much better road system. It's crying out for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's crying out for it.  Sorry, my mistake. It's just so hard to tell where one of the townships finish and the others start. Waterthorpe, Sothall, Hackenthorpe, Owlthorpe, Westfield, Halfway, Beighton, Mosborough, Oxclose, Drakehouse etc. Where does one finish and the next one start?
