In August 2011 it was rated as 2 stars by quality assessors at Visit England.[1] HistoryThe services originally opened in 1974[2] with two sites, one each side of the motorway (the traditional layout of a British service station). The two distinctive conical-roofed buildings, one of which has since been demolished, were designed by the architect Patrick Gwynne. However, in 2008 the westbound side was closed,[3] traffic wishing to use the services now must use the opposite site, accessed from the roundabout. The former Westbound site is now owned by a developer. in the mid-1980s bands travelling between Manchester and Liverpool often stopped at the services and the site became an autograph hunters' hub - regular stoppers were Tears for Fears, Yazoo and Strut Trivia. The latter's "Waiting for the Car" was written on 11 November 1983 at midnight in the wigwam-shaped café on the westbound side.[4] Westbound SiteThe Westbound site was bought by Marshalls [4] and is being redeveloped for commercial use. The development is to be known as Gemini 8.[5] Tenants so far include a Travelodge motel [6] and a Starbucks Coffee Outlet. Furthermore, a Harvester restaurant has opened. From July 2014 a new Pub/Restaurant operated by the Marston's Inns and Taverns chain called the Skymaster has opened. The development is accessed from Junction 8 and is located adjacent to Gemini Retail Park. LocationThe services are located off junction 8 of the M62, access is from the roundabout from all directions.
