Very basic, but has a few good shops. Full of locals which is actually nice …needs tidying up and some investment.

Good selection of shops and even a few good charity shops. Particularly good are the pound shop, the works, Holland and barrett and the jewellers near the entrance. Always kept clean and also warm and dry for the shopping. Unfortunately the pound shop has gone and we now have another charity shop. I do hope this place will not turn onto the Shires charity shop mall!

The escalator was not working today so I had to use the stairs but later I did find the handy lift with plenty of unused units starting to look a bit run down market outside is small but okay
