I spent a lot of time in this store in my teens, first of all buying tapes, then CDs, but after 1993, I started working in the new Pizzaland which replaced it. It then changed to Bella Pasta around 1998 when whitbread bought out all the Pizzaland restaurants. As they already own Pizza Hut they changed it to Bella Pasta, now Bella Italia.

Oh the Pizzaland 1p vouchers!

There was record shop in that block - can’t remember the name though. That bus station area was great - there was a pie shop around the corner - Plesteds? - and a decent pub (Not the Lord Louis!)

Good pix - thanks for posting

Aaah, the old ice stating ring - I learnt how not to skate there. Do you know when the above photo was taken Sfcsim?

Good photos - well worth the struggle to upload them.

The ice skating would have been 1988, that it closed. They started knocking down the same day. People turned up like normal, to see it being knocked down, without prior warning.
