The Centre
The shopping centre currently houses 45 stores over 155,000 square feet (14,400.0 m2) of gross leasable area. It comprises a mostly high street brands with a smaller number of independent retailers. The centre was built in 1976 on an area which was damaged during World War II and incorporates a bus station underneath and a multi-story car park to the east. It has two main entrances from the Market Place, via a slope, and from Regent Boulevard, up escalators.
Expansion
Work begun in the summer of 2007 on an expansion to the shopping centre. It involved the demolition of the old Coach House, the construction of a new concourse over the bus station and the remodelling of the centre's interiror. On 30 October 2008 the extension opened to the public, with branches of Debenhams, New Look and Starbucks. Brighthouse; a rent-to-own retailer, a card shop and two mobile phone retailers have moved in since the opening but some units remain unlet as of late-2010 possibly due to the late-2000s recession.
