Hand tinted photo; they probably didn't have any light pebble grey tint...

I actually think it looks better now. It must be one of the most photographed images in the region.

That’s the old Essoldo in North Street. Building was still there in the 90s.
wasn't it a bowling alley or something, called HotShits? an ex worked there briefly.

Set out on a cold wet Monday afternoon?
Well it was a bowling alley, and though there is a typo in your name for it, it's entirely appropriate!
It was (not) an accident. . . . I couldn't go in the place, dreadful on every level, mostly the noise, but the then GF earned half decent beans as she was a student at the time and ~I needed all the help I could get
With Jumpin Jacks upstairs. I worked in hotshits behind the bar when it opened for about 6 months, Peter Falconio was also there at the same time. There was a certain Jordan there on the opening night as I recall. Must have been mid 90s….
Week before it opened was quite a fun time, for 4 consecutive evenings half the staff worked and the other half got hammered, played pool bowling while we all got paid
