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. ==References==
