The Rock
(http://www.therockbury.com/) is a largely developing shopping district in the town centre, which already contains a wide variety of places to eat, shop and drink. recently, there have been plans to make a massive refurbishment the largest the town has ever seen to build the biggest entertainment centre in northern manchester; it shall soon sport some of the best names on the shopping high street, as well as family entertainment, such as bowling and a cinema complex to be moved closer to the town centre than before, which were all previously located at park 66, just off the m66 motorway. in brief more bars and eateries than before as well as recently-built apartments, located just next to the town centre and town hall.
Mill Gate Shopping Centre
(http://www.millgatebury.co.uk/). this shopping centre houses many of the brands you would come to expect from a typical shopping centre whsmiths, waterstones, marks and spencers, but it does have a unique selection of jewellers, amongst the largest selection in manchester, if not the largest selection in a shopping centre.
