Tags: Shopping Mall.
The Marlands Shopping Centre was opened on 5 September 1991. At the time the Marlands Shopping Mall was the largest shopping centre in Southampton and the first significant shopping centre in the city (East Street Shopping Centre being well out of the way of the main shopping district hence never being very successful and the Bargate Centre being much smaller) however it is now dwarfed by WestQuay which opened in 2000.
