Dist:0.2km<br/>This part of Cumbernauld town centre has become forgotten and neglected.
Only one unit in this row was occupied when the picture was taken.
B&Q left their premises here around three years ago to move to Wardpark (Westway)
and who can hazard a guess when the Icehouse closed? Twenty-odd years ago?

See www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2139883 for picture and update from Nov 2010.

Dist:0.2km<br/>From B&Q to B&M. Well that's who I'm reliably informed will be
taking over this huge retail unit. See www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1665081 for picture from earlier this year

Dist:0.4km<br/>While the nearby shopping centre attracts most of the "ugly building" awards, this must take some beating in any nasty building contest.
