The Bradley Stoke Examiner

Exclusive: Willow Brook Centre begins to take shape - first pics inside

The Willow Brook Centre, Bradley Stoke’s new town centre, is beginning to take shape - and The Bradley Stoke Examiner is the first with pictures inside.

Inside the Willow Brook Centre

The flooring is down inside of the new Tesco store, which is only slightly smaller than Asda at Cribbs Causeway, and shelves are beginning to go up.

Alongside that, the new mall is being built with shop units almost ready to be fitted out.

Work is also progressing on the new town square and the units alongside that.

Click below for the first photos from inside the centre and watch out at the weekend for an interview with Scott Lahive, the town centre manager.

    Does seem quite dark inside. Im surprised they haven’t fitted some sort of glass roof like the Mall at Cribs Causeway. Other than that it looks good.

    Mike,

    The roof isn’t glass, apparently, because they had to install fire safety equipment there so glass was a non-starter.

    Also, looks a little dark because not all the panels are up on the ceiling, it is pretty light when you’re in there.
