The two sides of the Marks and Spencers in Leicester

Occasionally you will come across a shop with more than one entrance, and sometimes these different entrances are on completely different streets. Here are two of the M&S in Leicester in February 2018.

Gallowtree Gate (ugh, what a name!) - southern side of M&S. This side was built in the 1930s.
 

Humberstone Gate - northern side of M&S. Built in the 1990s following the demolition of the Lewis department store. It is on this side, in the entrance, that there is the shortest escalator I ever saw. For many years I had had a vague memory of it; however I was never sure which M&S branch had it (apart from that it wasn't the one in Loughborough), until I visited this store, possibly around 2016.
