The Gates Shopping Centre (formerly known as Milburngate Shopping Centre) was a shopping centre in Durham, England. It was located on the west side of the River Wear between Framwellgate Bridge and Milburngate Bridge, in the centre of Durham.
In 2016 The Gates closed for a £30 million redevelopment, as one of the 3 redevelopments in Durham City, in partnership with Durham BID worth almost £190 Million. The complex being built on the former site of The Gates named the River Walk is due to be opened in Summer 2018 and will consist of over 20 refurbished shopping units, including Poundland, Cex (Pre-Existing Unit) and Santander. The River Walk complex is also due to have a large Odeon Cinema and there’s a large section in the middle of the complex which is not designated to any particular shops[3].
