Castle Gate Shopping Centre (Shrewsbury)
New Riverside is a £150m shopping centre redevelopment project in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, which will link the town's Pride Hill and Darwin centres and comprehensively redevelop the Riverside centre site.
The redevelopment will comprise approximately 50 new shops and 15 new restaurant and cafe units, totalling around 225,000 sq ft and create one, linked and extended centre of 680,000 sq ft. The scheme will be anchored by a Debenhams department store of 95,000 sq ft.
Preliminary plans were put to public consultation in July 2011 and the scheme was granted planning permission in April 2012. Work is due to start summer 2013 with completion due late 2015.

Famous quotes containing the words castle, gate, shopping and/or centre:
“If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
“Leave now
The shut gate and the decomposing wall:
The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
Riots with his tongue through the hush
Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
—For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life; and the other, the leap ahead.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
