Eldon Square Shopping Centre
In the 1960s the west and north terraces around the square were demolished to be replaced by part of Eldon Square Shopping Centre which now dominates Old Eldon Square.
Some renovation was completed in 2008 and the square now features new landscaping and ground level access to the shopping centre.

Sent, quick and howling, to the centre headlong;

Buried above ground.”
