Car Parking...

If you are travelling into the centre via car there are a number of places to park really near to the cafe. The one way system leads you round Neville Street, turn right up Clayton St West and continue up the road. Turn right down Fenkle Street and there is a car park here, right behind the cafe. It's monitored by security camera and costs 70p an hour and is free after 6:30pm.
