| I caught the service 106 bus from Kendal to reach Penrith, which in this case was operated by Reays of Wigton. |
 |
| As the bus went around the Lowther Estate, we were held up by these couple of horses. |
 |
| Arriving outside the New Squares shopping centre in Penrith. It opened in June 2013, after being much delayed, with the biggest retailer in the centre being a 55,000 sq. ft. Sainsbury's supermarket. |
 |
| Sainsbury's. I''m afraid the vast majority of shop units in the rest of the development are still empty, nine months after the centre opening, as will be seen by the following images. |
 |
| Empty shop units. Apartments above. |
 |
| You begin to wonder if all the shop units will ever be taken? |
 |
| In complete contrast a building of character at the junction of Bowling Green Lane. |
 |
| Two Lions Square. Everywhere you look - empty shops. |
 |
| Heading towards the town centre where some of the shop units were taken. |
Sad to see old shops left empty but even sadder to see new nits not taken. Nice pics.
