Opened in 1984, The Cockhedge Shopping Centre was constructed by Williams Tarr for Charterhall Properties. Some of the interesting features include cast iron framed colonnades to reflect the architectural style of the Cockhedge Spinning Mill that formerly stood on the site, and an arched timber pedestrian link bridge over Scotland Road. This is linked to the Centre by a green spiral footbridge (which this photographer notes nervously, moves alarmingly in a mild breeze).
