The city centre redevelopment in 1955-57 resulted in a lot of buildings like this - brick, bland but inoffensive. Unless you are offended by bricks or blandness. Casino Gaming did not endure to 2025 but had been replaced by something of a similar ilk, Merkur Slots; Super Pound Store was still going; Fultons Foods has also not lasted.
