I think the shops that closed (Curry's, Granada TV etc) would have closed anyway and before the Arndale we didn't have a Marks & Spencers. That came with the very first stage of the Arndale way back when the sunken gardens were lost. The Odeon cinema closed down long before that block was redeveloped too.

The car park was supposed to be built with the same number of parking spaces that existed on the old car park which may account for why the spaces are so cramped and the ramps such a tight squeeze. (Save them going up another floor level to make more)

The worst thing to happen to Broadway is that hideous block with Wilkinson's in it.
