Castle Quay Shopping Centre
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Castle Quay Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in the town of Banbury, North Oxfordshire, England.
The shopping centre is located in the centre of Banbury by the Oxford Canal, off Castle Street.[2] Banbury Museum[3][4] and Tooley's Boatyard[5] are also located here.[6] Close by is Spiceball Park. The museum is accessible over a bridge and from the Castle Quay Shopping Centre. There are 5 entrances here; one at Bridge Street, two at Market Place, and two next to the Oxford Canal.
Castle Quay Shopping Centre has over a hundred stores.[7] Major shops (anchor stores) include Boots and W H Smith.
A stone plaque in the facade of the Corn Exchange in the Market Place commemorates the start, in 1974, of the Castle Centre, by Banbury Borough Council.[8]
In spring 2022, Castle Quay Waterfront (previously named Castle Quay 2) was fully opened, consisting of Pizza Express, Nando's, a 7 screen branch of The Light Cinema, a bowling alley and an arcade, as well as a rock climbing facility named "Adventure Climb". Across the canal was also a modern Premier Inn hotel, and a new Lidl supermarket.
