Best shop for vapes and eliquids in Wakefield, got a big range of flavours and prices are very good.
Creaking floor boards on top level, crying for a new floor. Few sussy looking shops around be careful! Only given four stars for its history, M&S and its Christmas decorations which seem better than meadowhall. Needs to sort things out!
Pay & display on entry ( cash or card ) The shops here are ok but it's nothing like it used to be in the 80's. The place is dropping to bits, cracks & exposed steel re-enforcement exposed everywhere !!!
I was in the ridings center today and asked a security member for directions. I am disabled and have poor hearing the young fella said his name was Reece a chap of colour. He was very helpful and patient. He said he hadn't held his position long but I want to thank him for his help well done ridings for selected good staff.
Lovely visit but very quiet. Busy places was the supermarket on the lover level and primark on upper level. Shame for such a well looked after place.
