    Remember when this opened back in the 60's as TOPS

    Hughie Green was the guest celeb to cut the ribbon...they also had the PG Tips chimps there and I was invited to have my photo taken with it...being a nipper I was scared of it and bawled my eyes out when it put its arm around me and wanted to give me a kiss...X-D

    It might not be such a bad thing Wilkinsons moving the plot would be very attractive to a cinema say, backing onto Forge island and fronting onto Corporation Street, at least it would allow the very untidy walkway area to Forge island to be redeveloped too
