History
The site was opened in 1970 by HRH Princess Alexandra, [The Honourable Lady Ogilvy|Princess Alexandra] as Burton Shopping Centre. The centre underwent a large refurbishment which was completed in 1994, which included the addition of a roof on the centre and a change of name to Coopers Square Shopping Centre.Prior to the 1994 redevelopment of Coopers Square, Dame Paulet Walk was formerly known as 'Fennel Walk'. Dame Paulet's Almshouses occupied the site where Primark now stands; the original doorway is installed into the side of the building. Also, The Burton Cooper statue stood in the entrance of Saint Modwens Walk on High Street and the rubbish bins resembled beer casks.
In 1996 Sainsbury's moved to a new unit that had been built across the road. The former unit was split up and became a BHS, JJB Sports, and the now defunct retailer, Au Naturale. The former BHS store was redeveloped as a new Next at Home store, which opened in October 2017.
