It was known as Harleys for a time but had reverted to the Harlequin before its final demise in 2006.

The shopping complex had been plagued by anti-social behaviour and a decision was made demolish it and replace it with a supermarket. Costcutter moved out and Asda moved in, meanwhile a Chinese take-away, hairdressers and a bookmaker’s were relocated.
