Another view of the mall shown in http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=15920733 . I got stuck here for over half an hour: I drove into what appeared to be the car park, only to discover it was the staff car park, which has the highly sensible arrangement of allowing you to drive in, but preventing you from getting out without some sort of staff code, thus necessitating the calling out of an irate premises officer, who informed me that "the same *** thing happened yesterday". Did he put two and two together and make a case for a different way of organising things? I confess I've not been back to find out. Meanwhile, my sole purpose for the visit was to find an Ordnance Survey map of the area, but the mall didn't even have anything resembling a bookshop, so it was a complete waste of time.
