Downtown was in Hindley Street (when Hindley Street was safe) and in the 70s and 80s, parents would actually drop off their kids for a Saturday night of roller skating, indoor mini golf, more arcade games, dodgem cars and a Wild West shooting gallery. Downtown was great!

Geoff Bowley posted a photo to share of Downtown in Hindley Street.
Brings back memories of the 80s and a time when the eastern end of Hindley Sreet was a bit more family friendly. Downtown was a family favourite, especially on Saturday night with its roller skating rink, shooting gallery, arcade games and more. There was also a pretty good restaurant as I remember which meant mum and dad could enjoy a nice meal and a few drinks while the kids enjoyed the games.
Downtown closed in the 90s, a victim of the explosion of the personal computer and the digital age.
Gave us some fantastic memories though!
Thanks for sharing a great photo Geoff.
