Architecture

The design for the building, including its bow front, is influenced by the period architecture of Scarborough. The Brunswick Centre is a modern enclosed two-level building with a Debenhams store, Argos, New Look, and 28 other shops. [2]

One of these, The Bathing Belle, was installed on a plinth outside the centre in April 2008. The cost of the statue was met through a mixture of grants, donations from businesses and private subscriptions. [3] [4]
