Indoor street, Merrywalks centre, Stroud

I've blipped the Merrywalks centre (now known officially as the Five Valleys Shopping Centre) many times as it goes through a gradual transformation, briefly halted by the CoVid lockdown in the spring of this year.

These 'food streets' have been taking shape over the summer months. I've not tried any of the food here: it looks and smells delicious but is not cheap. And I don't usually eat in grey steel places. The design is based on London's Borough market, apparently. I'm none the wiser.

Welcome to Stroud! You can still visit my town. The new three tiers of restrictions do not change anything for us, we remain in a medium risk area.
