To my mind it was never built to house a great deal of shops but was supposed to be an elegant arcade, however, they tried to squash too many shops into it and ruined it.
yes, I suppose when you stop to think about it, there are perhaps too many shops crammed in.
When I said that Clayton sq isn't much to write home about, I should have clarified that I meant the outside of Clayton sq (Parker st) rather than the interior shops.
Those steep steps leading down into Parker st, and that terrible tv screen.
It's not particularly attractive.
It amazes me why the steps are so steep because I don't recall Parker street being on such a steep incline. there was a bit of a slope running up to Lime street as I remember it.
