 | | The Arndale at Poole in Dorset, for example, is now called the Dolphin Centre; the Leeds Arndale has become the Crossgates Centre, and the main shopping precinct in the Lancashire town of Nelson has been relaunched as the Admiral. |
 | | That, maintains the centre's marketing team, is all in the past, and architects Leslie Jones have come up with a scheme that will sweep away the centre's anonymous, grey-clad frontage and replace it with a dramatic blue entrance portal. |
 | | The sheer number of Arndales built (18, at the last count) is testimony to the benefits these new centres brought to towns which had previously offered shoppers nothing but rambling, often war-damaged high streets. |
