SINCE the doors to the Poole Arndale centre opened in 1969, we have sadly seen plenty of retailers come and go.

We have created a gallery of photos which are part of the Grahame Austin Collection showing the Arndale in its glory around the 1970s before the centre was renamed the Dolphin Centre in 1988.

Do you remember these shops?
