The Brunswick Shopping Centre, with over 30 shops, is in the centre of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. It was built on the site of a former Debenhams store, which was an anchor tenant until its closure in May 2021. It has an annual footfall of approximately 7 million people.^[1]

Architecture

The design for the building, including its bow front, is influenced by the period architecture of Scarborough. The Brunswick Centre is a modern enclosed two-level building with a Debenhams store, Argos, New Look, and 28 other shops.^[2]

Bathing Belle statue

In 2002 Scarborough Civic Society commissioned Sunderland artist, Craig Knowles, to create two sculptures for the town at a cost of £40,000. One of these, The Bathing Belle, was installed on a plinth outside the centre in April 2008. The cost of the statue was met through a mixture of grants, donations from businesses and private subscriptions.^[3][4]

2017 sale

On 4 April 2017 it was announced that M&G Real Estate were putting the freehold lease up for sale, after over two decades of ownership. The lease was priced at £31.75 million, listed through Knight Frank.^[5]
