Liverpool Shopping Park (1)
A recently opened retail park just off Edge Lane, conveniently situated for out-of-town visitors coming off the M62 a mile away. It was built on the site of several former factories including the Meccano works.
Like most such commercial developments, all the shops are "big name" chain stores rather than local independents. Shops in this view include River Island, Next, JD Sports and Outfit.

This is probably one of the first such retail parks to include a row of electric car charging points as part of the design.
