I used to love Wardleworths. I used to spend my Saturday afternoons in there when i was a kid reading the books and rooting around. Now i buy my books from Asda or Tesco or Wh Smiths. Times have changed though the pound shops have moved in but they were empty shops before that. It's what people buy. People have voted with their feet and go to Manchester, Trafford Centre, Blackburn etc instead of using their local shops. Everybody has got used to going to Blackburn & Bury to go to the pictures because there wasnt one in Accy. Now there is but how many people go to it?
