Tucked behind the former Springvalley Cinema (Silver Slipper Ballroom after 1938), stands a row of Wild West-style business premises, created as an advertising feature for the now defunct furniture-trading company 'The Great American Indoors'. The brainchild of an imaginative owner, it includes a railway office, a saloon, a cantina, a jail and a stables. Most of the units are now used for storage by an adjacent garage. Image
