I definitely remember these. My mother used to take me to them after nursery. Possibly around 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is understandable that you feel this way. We can't all be born with high functioning brains, dear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargate is so much worse now, the only market now is in drugs 😞 And if you chat with WH Smith staff, (if you can find any, even on a Saturday because their numbers have been reduced to a bare minimum), they'll tell you that the store's days are numbered. Add to that, HSBC shutting on Fargate & moving to The Moor, that's another, extremely large building empty. If it wasn't for M&S, we'd not venture on to Fargate anymore & there's no retail outlets on High St that we need to buy from either these days or desire to by from. I've never felt the need for a German kebab, second hand electrical goods or adult indoor golf. Edited January 19 by Baron99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 There used to be a vast collection of jewellers, Birthdays card shop, New Look, GAME. All gone sadly. I am surprised Hotel Chocolat is still there but glad it is. The picture someone posted earlier of Fargate in the 1980s looked great with all of the flower beds. The beggars and cold calling canvassers need removing from Fargate. I don't mind Big Issue as atleast they are means vetted and trying to earn their money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
