Centre Information

Construction on Houndshill began in 1978. A car park was also constructed above the shopping centre, spanning over 4 floors. [1] It is the only indoor shopping centre in Blackpool.

In September 2008, a new extension was opened at a cost of over £30million; the extension featured Debenhams as the new flagship store and trebled the size of the shopping centre. The multistory car park was also expanded. [1] [2] [3]
