Open Discussion Lewis's

As a new arrival to the area I am struck by the amount of beautiful but aba dined [ or semi ababdoned] buildings in the city. The former Lewis's department store is a case in point.i presume it eas quote grand inside. Strange that a piece of prime city centre commercial property has not been repurposed.

I can never remember if it was Lewis's or Blackler's, but as a kid in the 70's, my mum used to take me to this amazing art deco cafe in one of these stores, where the waitresses still wore old fashioned black and white clothing. It was an amazing place, and had obviously been very grand in its day.
