Formerly an outdated 1950s shopping precinct, Princesshay is now a focal point for the city, with a mix of residential and retail space and large pedestrianised areas ideal for pavement cafés and sites for many of the citys festival events. The traditional service yard area, which detracts from the appearance of many of todays towns and cities is now underground, so more space is left on the surface for people and businesses." ![]() Press Release - Info from Chapman Taylor Architects Devon Buildings World Architecture : e-architect - a guide to key buildings across the globe Comments / photos for the Princesshay shopping centre page welcome: info@e-architect.co.uk Princesshay shopping centre - page : adrian welch / isabelle lomholt |
