This month White Rose Shopping Centre will have been open for 26 years.
The 76-acre shopping centre is home to over 120 shops, restaurants, cafes and a cinema. It instantly became popular when it opened in 1997, but sadly over the years, and on the back of Covid-19 pandemic and the rising cost of living, a lot of shops have been lost - although it remains a great place to bag a bargain or two.
A large board printed with 'fake' shop fronts now covers a large part of the centre where stores are missing. Big names including Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Thornton's, Disney, Topshop, Topman, Monsoon, Carphone Warehouse, Oasis, and Warehouse have closed.
