Background
History
Building work began in 1989 following the demolition of existing buildings including the Pied Piper public house and the Co-operative store. One of the key phases of the building work for the two-tier mall was the pedestrian walkway over Priestgate. In December 2006 it was purchased from Investream by the Moorfield Real Estate Fund for £84.5 million. Extension of the shopping centre with a Debenhams department store was planned for 2015-6 but was later cancelled.
Architecture
The main centre comprises 58 retail units utilising a bridge link over Priestgate, creating one continuous mall at lower ground level and an additional lower ground retail floor. It receives a weekly footfall of 125,000 people.
