Returning to ghost malls, I'm amazed that nothing has ever been done about Eldon garden. It was a flop from the day it opened, 30 years ago.

I'm the same, having lived just round the corner for many years, I know the layout like the back of my hand so am usually in and out minutes. Honestly, the only thing I really go to the Metrocentre for is Argos, and only when every other store is out of stock! When I'm waiting for the bus, I might pop along to Poundland or Greggs, but that's really about it. 

Same with IKEA, I would go in several times a week for the free coffee in the restaurant to get some work done, I can't even remember the last time I used the main entrance, it's much faster to go in the exit and you're straight at Bargain Corner!

I don't think I've ever been in Eldon Garden, I couldn't even tell you what's in there!
