Looking Back: One of the city's key retail sites

The redevelopment of Westgate House under way

Westgate House has had several different owners down the years but it has always been one of the key retail sites in the city.

For many years it was synonymous with the Co-op which had been on the site at the corner of Westgate and Park Road since the turn of the last century.

It rebuilt the Park Road store in the 1960s and although it had many other outlets across the city Westgate House was clearly its flagship store with an expanded range of products on sale.

With the emergence of Queensgate, the area became the city’s major retail section.

The redevelopment of Westgate House completed.

Today’s pictures show the massive redevelopment under way and a before and after when the name changed from the Co-operative to Westgate House.
