Victoria Shopping Centre

The Victoria Shopping Centre is an indoor shopping centre, in the town centre of Harrogate, in England. The centre replaced the town's indoor market, which dated from 1938. A competition was held to design the replacement centre, which was won by Cullearn and Philips with a concept inspired by the Basilica Palladiana. It was completed in 1991. The building was sold for £23 million in 1998, and was altered the following year. The southern piazza was filled in, the southern ground floor arcade covered over, and the top floor retail space extended into an area formerly occupied by a terrace cafe. The freehold was later purchased by Harrogate Borough Council. In 2023, the council put it up for sale for £6 million. At the time, tenants included Sports Direct, Next and TK Maxx. The building's facades are in the neoclassical style. It is built of sandstone, with a green copper roof. There are statues on the roofline; they were originally intended to depict classical subjects, but ultimately, contemporary subjects were selected.

Harrogate War Memorial

Harrogate War Memorial, also known colloquially as Harrogate Cenotaph, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, was designed by Ernest Prestwich and unveiled by Henry Lascelles, 5th Earl of Harewood in 1923, in the presence of 10,000 people. It was said to be one of the last of England's outdoor war memorials to be unveiled, following the First World War. The monument is formed of an obelisk and plinth in Portland stone, and is 23 metres (75 feet) tall. It carries two large bronze plaques, containing 1,163 names of Harrogate casualties of the First and Second World Wars, including several women. It is decorated in bas relief by sculptor Gilbert Ledward, with two murals titled 1914, the Call to Arms, and 1918, Britannia with the Flag of Victory. In preparation for the monument's 2023 centenary, the details of all 1,163 war casualties were researched by two members of Harrogate Civic Society. It was found that over 300 of the dead had unknown graves, and that the youngest to die in action was aged 15 years.
