What's your view on the Galleries?

What's peoples view on the Galleries, will Bristol be better without it with less shops?

I was 11 when they knocked down its predecessor Fairfax House, which was a ugly building but I don't really remember it. However Fairfax House was slightly younger then the Galleries is now when it was demolished.

For me, it was part of Bristol I knew from age 12 onwards - my late father was a Planner on the project. Over the last 30 years, It's probably had more shops then anywhere else that I found interesting, unlike Cabot Circus, the rest of Broadmead has been hit and miss since it was redeveloped in 2006.
