Sad to see it close. I remember going in for the first time when it opened around late Summer/Autumn, 1961. With that and the new M&S (first new M&S store to be opened since the war at the time) and all the other new shops on Broadway, plus work starting on the new open market across the road, it seemed like Accrington had a bright shopping future ahead. Of course, that was before the dream faded...
