I enjoyed going there with my mother or gran, the elderly would sit around the fountain talking and gossiping, like they did, the fountain had, if I am right 1pences & 2 pences in it, Bought my 1st watch at a shop in the balcony, a swatch-watch, enjoyed a burger and milkshake at Wimpy's i can remember Burton's below Wimpy's and the veg store on the corner, a record shop, & i think there was a holiday shop but not 100% on that, Anyway, it was a lovely place back in the 70s and early 80s, THEN. They arrived and it went-down hill faster that a lead weight falling, Now the Arndale is as welcoming as a turd in a swimming pool, The best road in Nelson now, is the one leading out.....

Nelson '62 is the most moving and poignant film I have ever seen. I still find the town has an air of nostalgia about it for me, whenever I visit.

Used to get the bus from Colne with my sister to shop in Nelson - late 60s early 70s. But we soon started taking the White Lady to Manchester too. But Nelson was scary last time i was there - homeless in tents - Market day there's no English anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well it's a right mess now. The "shopping centre" made Nelson centre a ghost town. Now it's little Baghdad.

[@basicallywellfed3453]

I wonder how many brown envelopes, carribean holidays and smart motors were circulating to get the centre built. Hasn't even lasted a lifetime hasit? Falling to pieces, riddled with concrete cancer, empty and devoid of anything useful. Now millions will go into the rebuilding.

[@puppets.and.muppets]

the mayor at the time dick deeply, opened the centre in 1962

[@TechBoxHD1]

Dick deeply 😂😂😂😂😂

[@LifeinLancashire]

They'd have been better leaving the original buildings as the Arndale now looks terrible.

[@alexanderjenkins8601]

It looked smart at the time. I would have gone from Colne as a child in the 1970's. We thought the space age had landed it was so modern. Not really sure why Nelson town center had died a death.

Soon to be demolished I'VE been informed !?!?

Looks horrendous. Nelson is much better now ; diversity is our strength.
