The east side of Smithford Way, dominated by the West Orchards shopping mall. On the right are the remaining 1950s shops. The glass arcading was added when West Orchards was constructed circa 1990. The frontage of the mall is several feet west of the original building line of the 1950s shops, making Smithford Way much narrower than when built. In the foreground is provision for cycle parking, one of which is actually in use. In 1985: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2184458
