More about this scene

Farnborough is home to much modern architecture; some might say it was bland and characterless. There are three massive shopping centres here. One of these is Queens Mead, which is home to over 80 shops. There are 600 parking spaces here, and the railway station is less than a mile away, making Farnborough useful to London commuters.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

As a child I remember being dragged around Fine Fair once a week, being sent for a box to the front of the store to put shopping in and being given the job of licking the greenshield stamps and putting them in the book!
