The Octagon Retail Park looks to be one of those small, unattractive edge-of-town shopping areas that were created in the 1970s. There doesn't seem to be much there.

All I can see in the area is Starplan Bedroom Specialists, Mamas & Papas, JJB Sports, Mecca Bingo, Burger King, Alliance Carpets, Staples, Apollo 2000 and British Home Stores.

That was achieved by going to Google Maps, entering the postcode ST1 5RR (which is the postcode for Mamas & Papas, on the Octagon Retail Park), zooming to Street View and then taking a look around the estate:

Octagon retail park is no good for shopping really and the only restaurant is a burger king! Brannigans shut years ago and is now a casino. ACross the road though is Festival Park which has more shops (Boots, Next, Brantano, Argos, PC World, B&Q, Halfords, Morrisons, Currys to name a few and a Pizza Hut, McDonalds and Frankie and Bennys.

Also Octogan Retail Park is only a 5 minute walk in the city centre (Hanley) where they have loads of shops and restaurants.

I'm from Stoke by the way :-)
