Arnold who?, I can see you all say. Who the bloody hell is he? Or rather, who the bloody hell was he, because the good news is he's dead, and he has been since February. Well, although you may never have heard of his name, practically all of you will have seen his handiwork and his legacy in the form of the Arndale centre in Accy.
That's right, he was one half of the duo (the other being Chippindale, hence Arndale) who developed these ubiquitous shopping centres throughout the North of England, with Accy being one of the worse examples. This guy - along with his partner - has been more responsible for the wholesale destruction of so many of our traditional town centres than few others, with Accy being a prime example.
Anyway, read his obituary and rejoice!
