International Malls: Queensgate Shopping Centre
Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England - circa early '80s
I believe this mall opened in 1982, and is located in the city of Peterborough, which is in Cambridgeshire, England (about 90 miles north of London). Hey, wherever the heck it is, it looks nice to me in this postcard.

The kind of malls us Americans didn't know existed back then in merry olde England!
Now that's a lovely mall. Wide open spaces and funky ceiling ornamentation. Is it still there? How can a mall not have a Web site?

Ha ha, Cora, you kill me.
Now that I see their Website, it's just a tiny thing.
Guys, I listed their "current website" (which also denotes that they're still around) in the entry, with this same link in there. :)
Hey Cora,
Did you use brackets over "url" to make that web address clickable?
I agree with Cora. The British malls we have seen featured so far look a bit cold and calulating in a bomb shelter sort of way. I think that is why I am not feeling it.
Oh man, did you check out the pictures of this place? Look in the media section of their web site!
Look at the upper walls and the ceilings! I think that is where the storm troopers from Star Wars were born!

My parents took me to this mall on a regular basis from 1983-1985. It had a really cheesy neon decoration which was my favorite part of the mall. When I visited it again in 2005, the decoration was gone. I was so bummed.
