This picture was taken when the Wellgate waterfall had just been newly installed into the middle of the shopping centre in November 1978.It looks pretty bare at this early stage, but as time went by, plants were added to it's surroundings until it eventually ended up looking like a wee oasis.
You can get a reminder of how it looked in 1986 with all the greenery attached, in the Retro December 2008 Archives.
