Here are some more pictures from Chris Porsz taken in Queensgate around 1983.

Chris said: “These pictures are from a time when shoppers with their C&A and M&S bags and cheese plants had a fag break and a chat in the very popular sunken seating as opposed to the plastic kiddies chairs.

“The picture right shows punks surrounded by luxuriant foliage outside a very busy John Lewis.

“It’s sad to see its demise this year.”
