Fletcher Fold

Settlement in Lancashire

England

Fletcher Fold

Park 66, Pilsworth Retail Park Park 66 was a leisure park in the Pilsworth area, just off junction 3 of the M66 motorway, around 2 miles from Bury town centre. It was home to a Vue cinema, a bowling alley and several restaurants. When the Vue cinema opened in 1989, it was one of the first multiplex cinemas in the North West of England. The cinema closed in 2010, following the development of the Rock in the town centre; the bowling alley closed in 2012 with the restaurants soon following, leaving the site to quickly become derelict.

The site, which neighbours an existing Asda Superstore, McDonald's, Travelodge and Brewers Fayre pub, was cleared and redeveloped in 2018-19.
