The shopping centre we now know as The Frenchgate has been around since the 70s.
Originally build by the Arndale Group, construction began in the late 60s.
We have found some amazing retro images of the shopping centre when it was first being built and when it first opened.
If you have memories of those times we would love to hear them!
